About The BORED Net: The BORED Net is a daily amateur radio net held on the Bozo Repeater (147.885 MHz, minus offset, PL 127.3). It operates seven days a week, with sessions at 9:00 AM Monday through Saturday and an additional net at 9:00 PM on Saturday. The BORED Net includes a weekly swap net, a monthly field event, and an annual picnic, all open to all hams and clubs in Ventura County.
History: The BORED Net started during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in March 2020 as a way to maintain social connections through amateur radio. Initially, nets were held every three hours, providing a vital source of normalcy and community for hams. The net quickly grew in popularity, involving many who hadn't used their radios in years.
Key Events:
- Terry Graves Memorial: A 2m simplex contest held during Field Day to honor Terry Graves, K7FE/SK, and to provide a platform for active participation in Field Day events.
- µField Day (Micro Field Day): A monthly get-together for operating, sharing ideas, training, and socializing. The event often teams up with local clubs for combined activities.
- Annual Picnic: Held each fall to remember silent keys and to foster community spirit. This includes a net calling out those who were lost during the previous year.
