This is an interesting example of what can be achieved with a few like minds and a bit of advertising on social media etc.
A great PMR446 net in the UK that is held every Sunday at 8pm in the Manchester/North West area. Other areas do the same.
Could we do similar here in Perth on UHF CB? I'm willing to create a FB group if that would help spread the word. Could we actually get UHF CB to be used correctly with decent etiquette? Possibly a tall order but I guess if you don't try and all that.
Times and a channel or repeater would have to be worked out of course.
Having said all that is there a net or something already going on somewhere that isn't maybe widely known?
Alternatively, its not radio per se I know, but I do have a Zello channel named Perth Radio Group if anybody was interested. Feel free to join and give a shout out. There are a few radio enthusiasts on there from various places around the world but not too many actual QSO's. That needs to change and can do so with ease if a few locals fancy joining the group. I'm on there listed as callsign NR2049(Mick550) or as
Maj. Smith(Broadsword).
The beauty of the Zello channel is that reliability and clarity etc are almost a given and that you only need your smart phone to get going. Dedicated radio like units can be purchased or course that have a PTT button if you so wish.
So, of interest to anyone?
Cheers!
