Utah Air National Guard Amateur Radio Net

[gldavis]

Heard an interesting net this evening. Freqs used were 165.1375, 139.1000, and 142.6000-100.0 tone.
On a side not, if you are one of those who miss hearing Reveille in the morning, tune to 139.0150 @ 07:30. Or Taps at 21:00.

Ha! Cool !

None of those are amateur radio frequencies.

I noticed that. Also the check-ins were Ham call signs. Next time I might write them down. Net control radio had some deafness.

Maybe MARS Callsigns vs Amateur Radio
And was it 100.0 for all 3 frequencies ??

The call signs had ham radio format. Next time, I'll write them down.

Next time "Giant Voice" plays Reveille or Taps - grab the PL, it used to be 127.3

Were the callsigns like AFA+number+two letters?

 

[gldavis]

Nope. 1~2 letters, a number (mostly 7 but a couple 6's) then two or three letters. Like I said, sounded like Ham calls. My attention was focused on trying to find the different repeaters being used. Next time I'll focus on calls and locations. Assuming there is a next time, and I haven't chased them off by reporting on them.

Some QRZ lookups might provide useful info

Also have a 2nd Radio available to confirm it is not an image from the Amateur VHF Band
Looking thru Repeater book, I do see lots of 100.0 hz Amateur 2meter repeaters in UT

I used four different radios to find the freqs being used. A TRX-1 was the initial find (165.1375). When net control said "repeaters", I started searching the VHF Fed bands, as well as the VHF Ham Bands (6, 2, 1.25, and 70cm) (BC785D, PRO-2055, PRO-197). I only caught the other two freqs. I acknowledge that there may be others that were used, but they were outside the net I cast (to far away for me to hear). One freq could be an image, but I doubt that all three were/are.
I have a note on my colander cool, to listen in, next time they are scheduled to appear.
