How you can help

This is a volunteer group, and it runs on people pitching in a little. You don't need to be an expert — there's a job for every comfort level.

Ways to help

  • Just show up to the net. Honestly, this is the biggest one. Every check-in makes the group stronger and more visible.
  • Welcome newcomers. Remember how it felt to be new? A friendly "glad you're here" goes a long way.
  • Try running a net. It sounds intimidating, but it's mostly reading a script — we have one (see Net control script & log), and we'll help you the first time.
  • Share what you know. Good with a particular radio or antenna? Help us write a guide, or just answer questions in the forum.
  • Support the repeater. The tower site rent is covered by donations — see About the repeater.

Not sure where to start?

Post in the forum or ask on the net. We're glad to point you toward something that fits.
