The purpose of this net is to sell, buy or swap gear of interest to Ham radio operators.
This net is held every Tuesday night at 7:30 on two linked repeaters. The main repeater is on 146.79 MHz on the Mesa and is linked to the 224.08 MHz repeater on La Cumbre peak. Both repeaters use a standard minus offset (0.600 MHz for 2 meters and 1.600 MHz for 1.25 meters) and a PL tone of 131.8 Hz.
You can have your items listed by emailing SwapNet@sbarc.org or calling the club station’s phone at (805) 456-5689. Just leave a message and it will get to the right person. You can also participate in the Wednesday night Swap Net and give your listing over the air. The choice is yours.
There are some opportunities to have your item on display at Santa Barbara Electronics Supply. Contact Haydn KK6OYV at 805-681-2524.
Some equipment may be listed as being sold by SBARC to raise funds. On these items, we can accept payments online by credit card or PayPal! This will allow you to manage your expenses in whatever way is most convenient for you. If an item you want to buy is marked “SBARC Fund Raising Item”, you can purchase it by visiting http://www.sbarc.org/buystuff/.
