Hi all,
The countdown is on with only one more regularly scheduled net before we change the timing, etc.
Again, I don’t want to make it into any kind of an ultimatum; it is just that with the low apparent interest in the net, the last one that I am planning to run will be Saturday, August 31st (Labor Day weekend). I will then change the format of the website so that it will reflect any listings folks want to make electronically–at least until it is time to renew the domain in January.

I want to thank all of you for the fun that I’ve had running the net over the last fifteen-plus years, and I wish it were going to continue, but even I can be whacked hard enough with a 2x4 to be convinced that the times; they are a changin’.

73s, N7TAW

Northwest Saturday Morning Swapnet



This Map Shows the Net's Coverage area.
Click on the closest listed city to you, and it will open a window with repeater information.


The Northwest Saturday Morning Swap Net meets each Saturday morning at 9:30AM Pacific time, and goes until 11AM (or until there are no more listings, whichever comes first). This net is conducted as a public service to allow amateur radio operators to buy, sell or trade equipment that is related to the hobby of amateur radio. The regular Net control is Ron, N7TAW, who operates from Boring, OR, east of Portland. The net is conducted over the Evergreen Intertie. The Evergreen Intertie is a series of VHF and UHF repeaters that are capable of being tied together to provide communications over a large area of the northwest.

In addition to providing the swap service, the Saturday Morning Swap Net is a weekly test of the equipment of the Evergreen Intertie which serves to bring out any weaknesses of the system. The Evergreen Intertie system is always under construction, and always working for improvement.

The map above is intended to give a general idea of the areas covered by the Evergreen intertie.
