Sunday Night 2-Meter FM Voice Net See operating schedule and net frequencies at left. Net Manager: Rick Miller - AI1V	Each Sunday night, the Loudoun Amateur Radio Group conducts an On-The-Air-Get-Together at 8:00 PM during EST and at 8:30 PM during EDST - all local times. We switch to EDST on March 8, 2009 and back to EST on November 1, 2009. The Repeaters and Group’s Simplex Net are: - The Dulles Amateur Radio Group's W4DLS/R Repeater at 145.310 MHz with negative 600 kHz offset and with a PL of 77 Hz. This repeater is located in eastern Loudoun County at the intersection of US Route 28 and the Dulles Toll Road. We all thank the Dulles Amateur Radio Group and Craig Brown - N4FSC of Sterling, VA. - The WA4TXE/R Repeater in Leesburg, VA. that operates on 146.700 MHz with negative 600 kHz offset and with no PL. We all thank Dave Boltson - WA4TXE of Charles Town, WV. - The LARG Simplex Net on 147.480 MHz simplex with no PL. Operating Schedule: On Sundays that occur in odd numbered months, we will use the 145.31 machine – W4DLS/R. On Sundays in even numbered months, we will be on the 146.70 machine – WA4TXE/R. If you can't remember which to use, here's a hint: 145.31 ends in 1, which is an odd number, and 146.70 ends in zero, which most mathematicians throw in with the even numbers. For example, February, April, June, August, October and December are the even numbered months and during these months, we’ll meet on the WA4TXE/R repeater. Of course, if the designated machine is ever down for any reason, we will automatically switch to the other - what a luxury! And, if both are inoperative, then we will meet on our Group’s Simplex Net frequency of 147.480 MHz with no PL.
