The 220 MHz Good Guys Nightcrawlers Net Appreciate Netoholics July 2026 Net of the Month…

An interesting read about our Nightcrawlers’ Net can be found on the NetoholicsNetwork.net website. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased-as-punch by the Netoholics July Net of the Month story, written by our own Nightcrawler, Thomas KN4EWT. Many many thanks for that shout out. To read the Netoholics Net of the Month story, please click July Net of the Month: The Nightcrawlers Net | Netoholics Network.

Calling all future net controllers! Hey you! Have you ever wanted to be a net controller? Of course you have. It is an awesome time, loads of fun and easy to do. You can even do it late at night. All you need to do is get a hold of our Acting Vice President, Kelvin, W9BBQ. After that, all you need to do is follow the script (and Part 97) and have some fun with a great group of people.

Wanna help? Step up and control a net. Just click below and you will be taken to the appropriate script. (There are currently no scripts for the 220 at 2:20 Net, and on the first Sunday of the month at 2:20 pm, the Elmer’s Net.)
