This net occurs every Sunday Evening at 8 PM Pacific
The frequency to use, digital encoding mode, and RF modulation method will change for each net as decided by the Net Control Operator.
Members of our groups.io mailing list and group can get the participation details directly. The Net Control Operator sends out a message to all of the recipients of the mailing list each week. The Calendar on our groups.io page is also updated regularly with the participation details as soon as they are available. The groups.io chats feature is used during the net. Look for the DV8 Net chat on our groups.io page.
Purpose of the net:
- Enjoy keeping in touch with other digital radio users.
- Practice using your equpment, get a signal check, verify propagation from your location.
- Learn about, and try new digital modes you may have never used before.
- Could you do this in an actual emergency?

Sometimes we use D-STAR transceivers with D-RATS software on the computer. Maybe slow data mode, maybe fast data mode.
Sometimes, you'll need equipment that would normally be used for packet radio QSOs. Sometimes called sound card modes. We may use RTTY, PSK31, Olivia, CW, etc. But the Net Control likes to challenge us. So be prepared to do anything EXCEPT speak into a microphone.
It all depends on what the net control operator decides he wants to use.
