SARC and SEPAR run regular amateur radio nets that offer members a regular opportunity to check in, exchange information, and practice formal message handling. These nets aren’t just routine—they’re purposeful, helping operators stay sharp for public service and emergency deployments. In addition to our repeater-based nets, SEPAR conducts weekly simplex nets, which simulate repeater outages and strengthen direct communication skills—essential in real-world emergencies. All certified amateur radio operators are welcome.

Our Winlink net, moderated by our repeater manager Horace Bong VA7XHB, is a little different. Horace will send out a Winlink message to all net participants on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month.
Each Winlink message will contain:
A question or a request for action.
A tip.
A Summary result of the previous week’s question/action if possible.
You have until the following Sunday to reply.
To sign up, send a Winlink message to VE7ADF

Just as scheduled nets let us prepare for urgent situations by practicing on various bands and repeaters, the Provincial Emergency Plan for Amateur Radio categorizes repeaters and simplex frequencies to be used by various areas during emergencies.
