The BARRA Tech Net was started as a weekly gathering place for hams in Western New York to discuss the technical side of amateur radio. While many on-air nets focus on traffic handling, ragchewing, or public service, the Tech Net was designed specifically for exchanging ideas, sharing knowledge, and answering questions about the equipment, modes, and innovations in the hobby. Hosted on the Buffalo Amateur Radio Repeater Association’s repeaters, the net provides an open forum where hams of all experience levels can check in, learn something new, and share their projects. Over time, the Tech Net has covered a wide range of subjects, including: Linking systems such as AllStarLink, EchoLink, and Hams Over IP Digital voice modes (DMR, Fusion, P25, FreeDV) Satellite and space communications, including contacting the ISS RF infrastructure such as station grounding, antennas, and simulcast repeaters Modern ham-adjacent technologies like SDR, ADS-B, Meshtastic, HamClock, APRS, and weather systems The net runs Wednesday nights at 8:00 PM Eastern, with rotating topics and occasional guest speakers (such as Ted, WA2HKS, describing the technical design of the WA2HKS simulcast system). Each net includes a short topic preamble followed by discussion questions to encourage check-ins and participation. The BARRA Tech Net continues to grow as a resource for hams in Buffalo and beyond, promoting technical learning, experimentation, and fellowship over the airwaves. ECHOLINK N2UGS-L ALLSTARLINK 52515
