[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ARC 2m Net - October 2, 2025

[Ed MacDonald]

Thanks to everyone who participated in the ARC 2m Net on Thursday, October 2, 2025!

It was my first time as NCS, and I had a blast.

We got LOTS of love for CW. Shout out to our very own N8IK for having some learning material (http://n8ik.net/learningcode.pdf) as well as LICW (https://longislandcwclub.org/). Speaking of LICW, there was plenty of love expressed for N2EC, fellow ham and MVARC member. He and N8IK are CW masters that are apparently unaware of each others’ existence :-)

Multiple questions asked about the US Naval Academy weekly net. Find out more info here: https://www.usna.edu/AmateurRadio/index.php
While you're at it, check out the Anne Arundel Radio Club website (the club whose repeater USNA use for their net): https://www.w3vpr.org/

We have a Christmas Party location! Aldo’s Kitchen. Keep your eyes peeled for an official announcement.

Speaking of upcoming announcements, WD4ADF (Bryan) has lots of special nets planned. Stay tuned.

Also, sign up for the Marine Corps Marathon! I’m told it’s a great time, and I have no reason to doubt it: https://www.marinemarathon.com/

Finally, if you know of a good bagel place, let me know. I really felt seen when that discussion arose on the net :-)
