Our weekly 2-meter net, open to all amateurs, is held each Monday evening at 9:00 PM local time on the Club’s Repeater (147.180 w/88.5 tone). The purpose of this net is to facilitate communications between local and visiting amateur radio operator and provide participants information on future events, ACARC activities and other amateur related activities.
The ACARC meets monthly (Third Tuesday) at 7:00 PM at the Cape Fear Community College - North Campus, 4500 Blue Clay Rd, Castle Hayne NC 28429. During the monthly meetings club business is conducted, future activities and community support projects are discussed, and a program on some facet of amateur radio is presented.
