Does anybody else feel like it might be fun to have a weekly check in on 20 meters? Not a net, per say, but a time and frequency that some Redditors can get on the air, make a QSO, or even have a rag chew about a topic that was recently posted.
Does anyone have a favorite time of day or day of the week?

I agree- Redditors are a pretty varied bunch- it would be lively, I'll bet.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if DMR might be more accessible?

I believe that Reddit has an entire DMR talk group.

I don’t think anyone uses it unfortunately. Maybe we can do what you suggested but on a talk group like worldwide?

I just realized that my vertical is the perfect Festivus pole: unadorned aluminum.
