WHAT NEXT?<\/div>\n        <p>This page is part of our new What Next? project, designed to help newly licensed radio amateurs get started. We&#039;re still developing it, so please try the suggestions below and tell us what works, what doesn&#039;t, and what we&#039;ve missed.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essexham.co.uk\/train\/what-next\/\">\u2190 Back to What Next?<\/a><\/div>\n        \n<h2>Finding and Joining Amateur Radio Nets<\/h2>\n<p>An amateur radio <strong>net<\/strong> is a regular on-air gathering where a group of radio amateurs meet on a particular frequency or repeater at an agreed time.<\/p>\n<p>Nets can be a particularly good way to get started after gaining your licence. Instead of calling CQ and hoping somebody answers, you know <strong>where people will be and when they&#8217;ll be there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re also useful if you&#8217;re a little nervous about getting on air. You can listen first, learn how the net works and join in when you&#8217;re ready.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens on a net?<\/h3>\n<p>Nets vary considerably. Some are informal chats between a group of regulars, while others are more structured and have a <strong>net controller<\/strong> who manages the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>On a typical controlled net:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The controller announces the start of the net.<\/li>\n<li>Stations are invited to call in with their callsigns.<\/li>\n<li>The controller makes a list of those taking part.<\/li>\n<li>Each station is called in turn and given an opportunity to speak.<\/li>\n<li>The controller moves the conversation on to the next station.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This structure can make a net easier for a newcomer than trying to start a conversation from scratch.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding a local net<\/h3>\n<p>Many amateur radio clubs run weekly or monthly nets, often using a local 2m or 70cm repeater. Others use simplex frequencies, HF or digital voice.<\/p>\n<p>Good places to look include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your local amateur radio club&#8217;s website or social media pages<\/li>\n<li>The website for your local repeater<\/li>\n<li>Local amateur radio groups and forums<\/li>\n<li>Asking other amateurs in your area<\/li>\n<li>Simply listening to active local repeaters, particularly during the evening<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you find a local club, you don&#8217;t necessarily have to be a member to listen to its net, and many clubs are pleased to hear from newly-licensed amateurs.<\/p>\n<h3>Listen before joining<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve found a net, <strong>there&#8217;s no need to transmit immediately<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to one first. You&#8217;ll soon work out who is controlling the net, how people join, what sort of things they talk about and how the conversation is passed from one station to another.<\/p>\n<p>Different nets have different styles. Some may be quite structured; others are little more than a group of friends having a chat. Listening is the easiest way to understand how a particular net operates.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I join?<\/h3>\n<p>If there&#8217;s a net controller, they will normally ask whether any additional stations would like to join. When invited, simply give your <strong>callsign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The controller should acknowledge you and add you to their list. You then wait until the controller calls you.<\/p>\n<p>Your first contribution doesn&#8217;t need to be complicated. For example:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Good evening everyone. The name here is Pete, I&#8217;m in Southend and I&#8217;ve only recently got my Foundation licence. This is my first time on the net, so I thought I&#8217;d call in and say hello.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s more than enough. In fact, telling people that you&#8217;re newly licensed or that it&#8217;s your first net is useful \u2013 they&#8217;ll understand if you&#8217;re unsure of the procedure and can help you along.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I talk about?<\/h3>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t usually a requirement to prepare anything. Depending on the net, people might talk about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What they&#8217;ve been doing with amateur radio that week<\/li>\n<li>Radios, antennas and projects<\/li>\n<li>Contacts they&#8217;ve made<\/li>\n<li>Local amateur radio news<\/li>\n<li>Upcoming club activities<\/li>\n<li>Or simply what they&#8217;ve been doing that day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have much to say, that&#8217;s fine too. A short contribution is perfectly acceptable.<\/p>\n<h3>A few net tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Listen first<\/strong> so you understand how that particular net operates.<\/li>\n<li>If there&#8217;s a controller, <strong>wait until you&#8217;re called<\/strong> before transmitting.<\/li>\n<li>Write down the controller&#8217;s callsign and, if useful, the callsigns or names of other participants.<\/li>\n<li>Leave a short gap between transmissions when using a repeater.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t worry if you miss something \u2013 ask for a callsign or piece of information to be repeated.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re new, <strong>say so<\/strong>. Nobody expects someone making their first few contacts to know every convention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Listen to a net online first<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to hear how a net sounds before joining one yourself, you can listen to the <strong>Essex Ham Monday Night Net<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s on air at <strong>8pm every Monday<\/strong>, and you don&#8217;t need an amateur radio to listen.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen online at:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essexham.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen to Essex Ham online \u2197<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Or, on a compatible smart speaker, ask it to:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Play Essex Ham&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Listening to a real net is a useful way to hear how stations join, how callsigns are used and how the conversation is managed.<\/p>\n<h3>Example of repeater operation<\/h3>\n<p>This extract from our Foundation Online course includes an example of amateur radio repeater operation:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Repeater Basics - UK Amateur Radio Training\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cKDYMN1uuFY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Ready to have a go?<\/h3>\n<p>If you need help making that first call, see:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/train\/what-next-first-contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Next: Making Your First Contact \u2197<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s knowing what to say that&#8217;s holding you back:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/train\/what-next-what-to-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Next: What Do I Say on the Radio? \u2197<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also more information on callsigns, calling CQ, phonetics, signal reports and general amateur radio operating in our main guide:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essexham.co.uk\/operating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amateur Radio Operating \u2013 Getting On Air \u2197<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Was this helpful?<\/h3>\n<p>What Next? is still in beta.
