- Panhandle Amateur Information Net — “PAIN”
Please join the group every Sunday evening at 8pm. All area radio amateurs are invited to check-in to the net, either “for the count” or for a report of how your week went! It is the place to exchange social, technical equipment available for sale or trade and any other information or comments on your mind. We meet on the 146.940 W5WX repeater.
