This net was started on April 3, 2020 by Johnny Renfro (N5XQK) and the RCWA officers. It was originally planned as a health and welfare check And also as a way to break the boredom during the restrictions of the Covid pandemic. It has evolved into a great daily net that many folks look forward to each day.

18:55 K5AVF-ALEX: Hey Jerus, The DMR node is a much easier build. The programming of the radio is the more complicated parte.
