Hi folks,
If you are interested in participating in some Massachusetts-based nets for Winlink and APRS, please join us for the monthly MEMA nets this Monday.
The MEMA RACES nets are held on the first Monday of the month, unless the first Monday is a holiday, when it is delayed one week, For June 2026, the MEMA RACES nets will be held on Mon June 1.
The information is posted below. If you have questions, feel free to reply here or send a direct message to kc1vmz@gmail.com.
If there are other nets you would like to see or know about, please let me know. EMA does hold other nets on 80 meters for voice and NBEMS if you would also like to exercise that muscle.
Thanks!
