Now that our repeater is connected to the WiresX network we are ready to take the second step in promoting this technology and that is to get you to adopt it. Effective immediately we are announcing 3 digital NETs that our club repeater will be hosting or connected to. Going forward please mark your calendars with the following: 

Sundays (7:00pm PST): 

• BAY-NET & SFRC rooms connected "general" NET : use Sutro or WW6BAY YSF repeaters

Mondays (5:30pm PST): 

• SFRC connects to MNWIS-Room "technical NET" : use Sutro or FCS002/23 

Mondays (8:30pm PST):

• SFRC hosted NET, everyone welcome  "members get together, Q&A" : use Sutro or FCS002/64              

So what is FCS002/64? As of last Friday we have bridged our Sutro WiresX room with Reflector FCS002 channel 64! This mean that if you are traveling, anywhere in the world, and have a dv4mini (https://goo.gl/OM1WT0) you can reach our W6PW San Francisco repeater, check into our digital NETs or chat with your friends. Pretty sweet!!!

​​I would like to extend a personal invitation to you and Members of your Club to attend the International DX Convention 2017 in Visalia, California on April 21-22-23, 2017.
