The purpose of the net is to:

• Regularly verify operation of radio equipment.

• Practice participating in a formal directed net.

• Practice being a net control operator.

• Exchange relevant information on amateur radio and MST activities.

The WW7MST repeater system is a 5 site linked, multi-repeater, multi-band system. 

The 5 sites in the network are:

VA Hospital, Beacon Hill, Seattle

Winlink

We also encourage members to check in via Winlink. You can check in by sending a message to TRAIN-WW7MST via Winlink. The purpose of this is:

• Practice using digital communications.

• Test your Winlink setup to ensure it remains fully operational.

• Check in to the net when out of town or during poor signal conditions.

We strongly encourage you to check in using a radio mode (e.g. packet or VARA). You can successfully check in via the web client or over telnet, but these do not meet the purpose of this mode as those will almost certainly not be available during an emergency.
