Dixie Amateur Radio Club Sunday Night Net


DIXIE AMATEUR RADIO CLUB SUNDAY NIGHT VHF NET



Repeater System DiagramThe Dixie Amateur Radio Club holds a weekly VHF Sunday Night Net each Sunday at 8:00 P.M. Mountain Time. The net is always at 8:00 P.M. regardless of whether it is Mountain Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time. The net is held on the 146.310 MHz input/146.910 MHz output Amateur Radio VHF repeater which is located on Seegmiller Mountain.  This repeater is  locally known as the "Seegmiller Peak" repeater.

Seegmiller Mountain is a mountain summit in Mohave County in the state of Arizona. The peak is 5,974 feet above sea level and is located at latitude-longitude coordinates of N36.821648 and W113.520512.   The mountain is about 18 miles south of St. George.

The frequency that you should have your transceiver's receiver set on is 146.910 MHz.   You should have the transmit offset set to  minus (-) 600kHz.  

This repeater requires that you transmit  a 100 Hz CTCSS sub-audible tone to transmit through the repeater.

If for any reason the "91" repeater is down, the Club net will use the 145.490 Mhz club repeater as a net backup.  

Most net control stations also monitor the input frequency to listen for any stations who may not be getting a sufficient signal to the repeater station.

All Club Members are encouraged to check in to the net.  Use the link below for a "check-in roster" of net members. 

All licensed ham operators visitors are especially invited to participate in the DARC Sunday Night Net.  Check-ins for visitors will occur after the roll-call.
