WRAX515 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Posted June 18, 2023 Hello all! I just wanted to come on here and let everyone know about a new GMRS net that has just kicked off locally here in the Hickory, NC area (Charlotte, NC metro). It is called the Barretts 600 Net because the repeater is on the Barretts Mountain tower site. Frequency is 462.600, standard +5 offset, and the tone is 146.2 Hz. It's a wide area repeater and reaches at last count about 40 miles circumference to Hickory, NC. The net is every Saturday night @ 7:00pm eastern time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions/comments/concerns. Thank you and hope to talk soon! David (WRAX515 or AK4FD) Quote
WQAI363 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Posted June 19, 2023 Man, sure wish that I could join in on the Sunday Night net, but I'm here in Bucks County Pennsylvania. If You all have a Zello Channel, I would be willing to to sign on some Sundays. Adam WQAI363 / K3JCP Quote

Sry OM. I occasionally appear on the mt Mitchell machine. Best wishes! WRAX515 1 Quote

No better fast way of finding out first hand then just listening. You could even listen on simplex and see what you hear. Especially during the time stated for the net.
