F-troop

A weekly net for new and returning hams, runs every Saturday from 00:00 - 01:00 UTC and can be heard across the world:

In VK6 on VK6RLM, 146.750 MHz
Echolink Conference *VK3JED*, node 42840
IRLP node 9558
AllStarLink Node 42732 (VK6-HUB)
AllStarLink Node 28608 (VK6ZGN)
Brandmeister TG 505005
Australia & New Zealand Echolink Network (ANZEL)

If you'd like to talk about Amateur Radio, if you've just got your license, if you're shy, or if you just want a chat, drop in and say "Hi".

The net is run as a spoke and hub, which means that you only need to remember two callsigns, yours and that of net control.

Participating

Participating is easy, but your first contact may be daunting. Here's how to participate in F-troop.

Listen without a license

You can listen online with a web-browser (via broadcastify) and you can check-in via email: cq@vk6flab.com

Getting a License

Becoming a licensed radio amateur is simple and involves passing one or more exams, choosing a call sign, paying the fees and getting your license. Get started now!

Stats

F-troop started on 12 June, 2011. We've had check-ins and participation from throughout Australia and around the globe.

We maintain an online log with all our check-ins.

Bullied?

Bullying is repeated verbal, physical, social or psychological aggressive behaviour by a person or group directed towards a less powerful person or group that is intended to cause harm, distress or fear. This page is specifically about bullying in Amateur Radio.

F-troop does not condone bullies and if you've been subjected to any such behaviour on-, or off-air, please come to the 'net and talk about it.

F-troop is possible because many groups and individuals contribute their time and effort to making the 'net available throughout the world.
