THE OLD CODGER NET
. |
|
|
The Old Codger Net (OCN) is a weekly
on-the-air meeting of old codgers. In amateur radio lingo, it's
a Net. But this is not your tired, old, check-in - check-out,
let's-get-the-numbers-up, information Net. The OCN is a fun Net.
And if you're not careful while listening to the OCN, you will
learn some off-the-wall, absolutely useless fact or statistic.
Members of the OCN are veritable bottomless wells of useless,
meaningless and trivial information. So please join us.
Tune your scanner or amateur radio to the Short Mountain
Repeater Club repeater frequency of 146.910 MHz every Monday
night, beginning at 8:00 PM Central
time. |

CLUB MEETINGS |
|
The OCN does not hold regularly scheduled meetings,
but many of the codgers gather for coffee and to discuss world affairs
at the Shoney's restaurant in Smyrna around 9:00 PM most Saturday
nights. If you're in the area, or just really bored and don't mind
the drive, come join us. The coffee is good and the company is...
well, you decide.

REPEATER |
|
The Old Codger Net is conducted on the W4YXA repeater
located atop Short Mountain near Woodbury in Cannon County, Tennessee.
[ GPS coordinates - approx. 35° 51' 38" N
85° 58' 08" W ] It operates
at 146.910 / 146.310 MHz. The wide-area, open repeater regularly
receives signals from northern Alabama, south-central and western
Kentucky, and southern Indiana as well as all of middle Tennessee.
Occasionally, stations in the Smoky Mountains of east Tennessee are able
to use the repeater.

club's web site here:

History of The Old Codger Net |
|
The first meeting of the Old Codger Net (OCN) occurred
on Monday night, 23 January 2006. Founding Father Roger -W4IV was
net control operator and logged a total of 42 charter codgers for a
grand start. Since the inaugural net, the OCN has met every Monday
night. In just over a year and a half, the OCN
has logged over 4,000 check-ins, and passed along more than six metric
tons of timeless, useless information. Some of the 360+ codgers and codgerettes
checked in with jokes, but mostly it's just useless information.
And I mean USELESS. Come to think of it, the jokes were pretty
useless too. So tune your police scanner or amateur radio to the
W4YXA Repeater (146.910 MHz) to listen in. If you're a licensed
amateur radio operator, dust off your rig, check in with us and tell us
something interesting.
All amateur radio operators are invited to check in.
You do not have to be a member of the OCN, or any other organization, to
check in, but once you do, you are a member. Please join us.
