Net Control Operator

Are you interested in becoming a Net Control Operator, or helping behind the scenes? The PAPA System holds many nets each week, and as you can imagine it takes a lot of operators to keep it all running.

Being a Net Control Operator is not difficult, you simply need to be organized and have the ability to control the conversation. Some nets do require knowledge about a specific topic, like antennas or digital modes. Some of our nets, however, are check-in nets with minimal questions. So you can jump in where you feel comfortable.

We frequently start new net controllers with the second half of the New Hams Net (Wednesday evenings @ 7pm). This is a check-in net with questions that a new ham might ask. Some of these questions are about radio practice or the PAPA System. As more skills are built up, you can move to other nets.
