NET REQUEST

As a service to all amateurs in New England, this gateway is offered to anyone who wishes to run a net during any available time slot. All that we ask is that the interested party notify us so that we may reserve the date and time for you and list your net.

Please first check the list of scheduled nets and calendar grid above. Any time slot not already filled will generally be available on a first come, first serve basis. Any time slot outside of the shown hours are also available. To place your request, send us a message by going to the Contact page and be sure to include the following:

1. Net Name & Description
2. Net Manager's Name & Call Sign
3. Source IRLP or EchoLink Node
4. Net Day & Time*
5. Recurrence (i.e., monthly or weekly)
6. Web Site for Net (if available)

* Please be sure to include a start and end time so we can reserve the proper amount of time for your net in 15 minute increments. For example, if your net usually starts at 8:00 PM and it is usually over no later than 8:40 PM, we will give you the 8:00 PM to 8:45 PM slot. This will provide overlap protection to other potentially adjacent nets.
