The Essex Ham Monday Night Net for the 2nd of September 2019 started at 8pm local time on GB3ER (as GB3DA is still down), the 70cm 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.

Thanks to Dorothy for running the net this evening – makes a change to have you running our Monday net, not the YL net.
