HF WAS & DX Nets
by joel Sampson / N5LXI

The WAS (Worked All States) and DX (distance) nets are a great way to make contacts, make new friends and have fun!

Check out How to Get Started on HF WAS/DX Nets and other operational guides on the home page. They will help you get started on the nets and HF.

I'm active in the 3905 Century Club Nets. I frequent the 40-, 75- and 160-meter late nets. Occasionally the early nets. I'm on vacation from net control duties, but used to NCS the Monday 40-meter late and Friday 75-meter late nets. Listen for a QSO Fiesta when I guest NCS.

I am also active in the Geratol Net. I am likely to be running 5-watts QRP on the HF nets most nights unless I'm net control.
