10-meter Weekly Net

A 10-meter net is held every Sunday at 3:00 p.m. on 28.410 MHz.  KE5AL leads the net (Net Coordinator), but welcomes others who can be backup or be able to relay stations he cannot hear.  Challenge yourself and get active on 10-meters. You never know when propagation may turn into a great DX contact!
