Welcome to the homepage of the Saskatchewan 2M Linked Net. The net meets every weeknight (Mon - Fri) at 9:00PM local time (0300 UTC) on the various IRLP linked repeaters throughout the province. Stations from anywhere are always welcome to check in.
The purpose of the net is to promote fellowship amongst hams and pass on information about events and news that affect amateurs province wide. Please feel free to browse through this site and learn about the net and what to expect when you check in.
Thanks for your interest in the Saskatchewan 2M Linked Net

Order of the Net:
At or about 9PM CST, the net control station will call the net to order and give a general preamble. There is often news and bulletins at this time from the NCS, usually other stations are asked to stand by with any bulletins until their area is called.
Emergency or Priority Traffic:
The NCS will ask if there is any emergency or priority traffic. Any other traffic must stand by until NCS proceeds.
Reports of Ill or Hospitalized Amateurs:
The NCS will ask if there is any bulletins or reports of ill or hospitalized amateurs. Any other traffic must stand by until NCS proceeds.
Checking Into the Net:
When your area/repeater is called for, you can at this time check into the net. Saskatchewan nodes will be called first, then out of province nodes and finally international nodes. The order of the nodes depends on the NCS. There is no set order. This net is a traffic net, therefore you must indicate if you have traffic. An example of a check in is as follows:
(A station without traffic)
NCS: "Any check ins for Saskatoon, please call now."
YOU: "VE5XYZ, no traffic."
NCS: "VE5XYZ, thank you for checking, further Saskatoon."
(A station with traffic)
NCS: "Any check ins for Saskatoon, please call now."
YOU: "VE5XYZ"
NCS: "VE5XYZ, go ahead."
YOU: State your traffic
Closing the Net
The NCS will close the net at the end of all business. Usually he/she will ask if there is any further traffic or check ins from anywhere.
Once the NCS clears, the system is open for use again.
