The first Essex Ham Net of 2018 took place on the evening of the 1st of January 2018 – Well done to Rachel G6AMY for chairing the New Years Night Net. This started at 8pm local time on GB3DA, the 2m repeater located at Danbury, near Chelmsford.
Our Monday Night Net launched back in 2011 and is still going strong. Everyone’s welcome to join, especially those who’ve recently got their licence and are looking for help with getting started in the hobby.
