IRLP - Keeping the Radio in Amateur Radio

After discussions with a few net control ops, in addition to a few users, I've decided to change the net listing procedure from UTC start times, and have settled on listing all starting times as Eastern Time, whether EST or EDT.   Essentially this is due to the fact that while the starting time for most nets doesn't change, the changeover from Standard to Daylight Savings Time meant that the UTC time changed twice per year, and had the potential to be incorrect if I either didn't get to it, or changed it for an area that didn't support DST.

Please note, though, that if you'd like your net listed in UTC or your local time, that's perfectly fine with me.  Whatever works best for the net is what I'm willing to do.  Please don't hesitate to email me and let me know.

New listings or recent changes are in boldface.

If you run a net which isn't listed here, by all means, please email me.  And if you're considering setting up a net, please contact the reflector owner before announcing your intentions.

You can also contact me via Skype.  Add VE7RJT to your contacts. 

March 10: The Ontario SATERN Net has been established on 9032, Monday nights at 2100 Eastern

December 7: Unfortunately, the New International Morning Net has been cancelled as of today. No replacment net has been named at this time.

August 25: As of today, the start times for all nets are Eastern time, unless otherwise noted.  As mentioned above, if you'd like your net time shown in UTC (or your local time zone), please don't hesitate to let me know.

There are check-ins from all over northwest NC and southwestern VA. The net typically lasts from 45 minutes to 1 hour. Sometimes the net manager Mike, K4MDA asks an amateur radio related technical trivia question to encourage net members to improve their technical knowledge.
