Overview

Thanks to @SteveGibbs (WSBM443), WRXS569, WSGW884, @WSCY890, and @WSDV406 (me) and for joining the check-in net tonight (8/06/25). Besides the check-in, tonight's question was "what was the favorite car you ever owned?" A sample of the answers (you'll have to jump in the nets to hear the full answers ) were: '64 Mustang, '69 Road Runner GTX, and even answers like a Can Am Defender (tricked out with a bunch of radio equipment) and a Red EZ-GO Golf cart by a station that shared he enjoyed driving this as a kid before losing his sight. Lots of great conversation about our first cars, how much we paid for them, etc happened after the net "officially" closed. Join us every Wednesday at 8pm on Brentwood 600, tone 123.0 for a quick one fun question check-in net. Always feel free to weigh in with your answer to the nets' questions here on this thread. If the nets get large enough, we'll start making each net it's own post. But for now, we'll keep it all here.

Thanks to WRMN250 (aka @TheMeatTrapper), @WSFA364, @WSDV406 (me), WRXS569, @WSGE773, @WSCY890, and WSDK964 for joining the check-in net tonight (7/30/25). Besides the check-in, tonight's question was "what movie can you watch over and over without getting tired of it?" A sample of the answers (you'll have to jump in the nets to hear the full list of answers ) were: Apocalypse Now, 12 Monkeys, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and That Thing You Do (extended edition). Join us every Wednesday at 8pm on Brentwood 600, tone 123.0 for a quick one fun question check-in net.

Welcome to the GMRS fam, brotha! Glad to have you. I can't get out to most of the repeaters you monitor, but I'm always monitoring Brentwood 600, if you're able to get out to that one. As a matter of fact, this club has a check-in net on that repeater on Wednesday evenings at 8pm. So key up over there with us whenever you're available and if you can hit that one. I also may be able to make contact with ya via Lebanon 675. Glad to test that sometime with ya. Hopefully I can hit the repeaters a little further south once i get my antenna and base station (finally) setup.

Hey guys! I’m new to GMRS, just got my callsign almost a week ago. I work in armed security and get bored so I’m always listening. i currently live in Bradyville and I work in Smyrna, Murfreesboro and sometimes get sent out to other odd locations and cities. i monitor Rutherford650 the most as well as the Woodbury (chainsaw575) please talk! I love banter and to listen!

Thanks to WSGH297, WSBM443, WRXS569, (and me, WSDV406) for jumping on the net tonight at the new location of Brentwood 462.600, tone 123.0. See yall next Wednesday at 8pm. Don't be shy. Just key up, check in, and connect with other folks that can hear you. We might need each other one day.

We're moving the club's Wednesday night nets to the Brentwood repeater at 462.600. Tone is 123.0 in/out. Everyone that can hit the Brentwood Grasslands repeater at 462.650 (former location of the net) should be able to hit the Brentwood repeater at 600 just as well. See everyone at 462.600 at 8pm on Wednesday night for a quick checkin net.

Thanks to WRMN250, WSBM443, WRXS569, WSGW884, WSCY890, and a late check-in (on the Gallatin repeater) WSAT493 for participating in the 7/16/25 net. Yall rock. The more we can connect, the better we can become.

Make sure you join our weekly check-in net on every Wednesday at 8pm on the Brentwood Repeater at 462.600. The tone is 123.0. Normal +5 offset. *NOTE - the location has been changed from Brentwood GRASSLANDS at 650 to Brentwood 600, as of 7/23/25.*

Welcome, 874! Looking forward to catching ya on the air. Plenty of folks here to help you grow your knowledge. Don't hesitate to ask a question. Welcome to the GMRS family!

Hello everyone, I'm WSIW874 Troy, I live in Lewisburg. I'm extremely new to GMRS. I've only had my license for a week or two. I have 3 baofeng uv-5r radios that I have only monitored some of the ham repeaters in my area. That's the extent of my radio knowledge. I'm very willing to learn more.

fort cambell?

If you're on a HT you wont hit any repeaters in or around Clarksville and defiantly not in Nashville.

I wish I could provide some help, but that question is out of my wheelhouse. I sure hope some folks that have much more technical knowledge than I can help you figure out your rx and/or tx issue at the affected location. I hope to learn something in the process, as well.

hey everyone i am visiting family currently and they live about half an hour or so outside of clarksville and no matter what i tune my radio too i get constant static, i have no idea why, it was working back home but here its like something is blocking all signal or something what could cause this? EDIT its something in their house causing, no idea what could do that though

I seemed to have misplaced your email Steve, but here is a Net Outline for next week. I'll provide them for a bit until we have more people and think most are comfortable with it. 20250611_GMRS Net Outline.docx

I am planning to make this a regular thing when I am available, which should be most weeks for the foreseeable future. Hopefully more of you can make it to future nets. I'll also announce that if anyone else would like to take over net control, I'm happy to step aside and give someone else the experience. Steve, could you make another post for the net next week?

UPDATE: Start time was accidently omitted in the above announcement: Net will take place Wednesday June 11th starting at 8:00 PM

The club will start holding a Wednesday Night Net on the Grasslands repeater. Adam WSHZ 630 has volunteered be the net controller (host) for the first one on June 11th. He has provided the below net procedure for this net.

Hey, I get SMG1 from over here in Bellevue. I'm usually scanning during the day on Wednesdays and Fridays during the work day (~8:30-5:00) including today. Give me a shout. WSHZ630 - Adam. You might want to key up for 10 seconds or so before trying to be sure I pick you up on scan, that's about how long my cycle is.

Welcome Tim! Jeffrey Davis, WSDV406 here, in Hermitage. The Gallatin Repeater at 650 is by far the most active that I hear, in the area I'm able to monitor at least. Other than that, Brentwood 600 and Brentwood Grasslands (also at 650) are the next most active for me. I can't currently reach a lot of yall's great repeaters further south with my current setup. Looking forward to reaching you soon though. Welcome to the group brotha. Looking forward to making contact with ya

Hello, Tim Roper WRMN250 in Fairview. I run a Retevis RT95 on a Comet GP-3. I’ve been checking into nets on the Gallatin repeater, but am looking forward to this club and learning which repeaters y’all use.

I'm your Huckleberry.

Went to get one the other day, Can't order now till June.

Would anyone here be interested in setting up a trivia game bi-weekly or monthly? A different person would volunteer to create the questions and keep give answers at the end of each round. Maybe 2 or three rounds of 10 questions. Scoring would be on the honor system. No prizes, just for fun and bragging rights.

Welcome Seth! I'll start monitoring Murfreesboro a little more. I can RX it, but don't think i come through on TX.....not until I get my antenna up on the outside of the house. Same with Lebanon for me. I can communicate clearly through Brentwood and Grasslands though.
