SVARA Submarine Veterans Amateur Radio Association |
Net Information: SVARA holds a radio net on 20 meters at 14.343 (+/- QRM) every weekday from 1100 to 1230 Eastern, 1000 to 1130 Central; 0900 to 1030 Mountain; and 0800 to 0930 Pacific. The SVARA net is an open net--all licensed amateurs are welcome to join us. While many of the regulars are submarine veterans, service on submarines, or other military service, is not required.
WebSDR: In poor propagation conditions, WebSDR’s can be used listen to the net. Many people use the Utah WebSDRs at: https://www.sdrutah.org/ Utah SDR#2 usually works well to receive Western stations and Utah SDR#4 usually works well to receive Eastern stations.
Web site: http://w0oog.50megs.com/index_1.html Jim Flanders, W0OOG, maintains this website with information about submarine history, engineering, and other material related to submarines.
Facebook: The SVARA Facebook group can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/609415192428451
Jim Flanders, W0OOG revived the net and expanded it to the current form. Jim is a 2nd generation submariner with wide ranging interest and experience in submarines and the submarine service. |
