Net Check-In Contest
The VECTOR Net Contest is run each year to encourage net check-ins; you do not need to be a VECTOR member to participate. Your check-in enters you into the contest automatically. Winner(s) and prizes are announced at our December Annual General Meeting and last net of each year.
Share the love - check into other local area nets too.
Thanks
VECTOR gratefully acknowledges our partners, the Telephone Pioneers Amateur Radio Club (TPARC) for hosting our net on their VE7TEL 2M/70cm repeater system for many years and the UBC Amateur Radio Society for allowing us to use VE7RHS as a standby repeater. Thanks also to all those involved in repeater maintenance throughout the world; your often unsung work in the background helps us all.
