Bay Area Nets
Below is a list of nets of interest to Bay Area hams, other than those on the MDARC systems. This list is based on a compilation of nets undertaken in 2011 by Jim Brunk, N6BHX, with additions from other sources. If you find a error or know of a net not listed, please let us know at info@mdarc.org.
See also our Nets on MDARC Systems page.
Also, some nets from around the nation are listed in a PDF on the Radio Relay International website. Look under "Traffic Net Directory" for the latest version.
