History and Details
The net was originally the Saturday Night Alberta Linking Net. Later, first envisioned by Roy, VE6ERW,
the Saturday Night Tailgater's Swap Net was created. It covers most of the province of Alberta. [The FARS system has elected to not take part.]It is on at 8:30 pm (0230 UTC) every Saturday evening.
Repeaters include VE6PP, VE6OIL, VE6REP, VE6NHB, VE6EID, Saskatoon reflector #9302, NARC Node 1068 and QCARC IRLP node.
The net is open to those who are looking for, or have for sale, any items related to ham radio, including software as well as anyone wishing to stop in and say 'hello'.
Ham operators wishing to leave comments, offer to help out as a net control or with items for sale or wanted may contact the Swap Net at ve6tgn@yahoo.ca
Net control operators are Mike - VE6XZM, Trish - VA6SUM and DeWayne - VE6SUM. Occasional operators are Sandy - VA6SJT and Roy - VE6ERW.
The net controllers appreciate the co-operation of S.A.R.A. for the use of their linking system, and also NARC and QCARC for the use of their IRLP node.
