SARL Youth Net to celebrate its 50th transmission this weekThe ZS6SRL Youth Net celebrates its 50th transmission on Thursday 28 December. Special inserts from some of the Youth Net's strongest supporters including Andries, ZS6VL, will be included. Additionally Gerry, ZS6GER, has donated a large laminated DX map as a prize to be drawn during the transmission. Although conditions have not been great lately, the Youth Net is still well supported. When circumstances allow it, Nico, ZR6VT, and Craig, ZS6RH, relay the
transmission on the 20 and 40 m bands as well as on the Pretoria 145,725
MHz and 70 cm repeaters. Youth Net was started to provide an opportunity for young radio amateurs to talk with their peers and share common interests. The net controller is Stuart Reid, ZR6DBZ. With the support of several radio amateurs, the net has grown phenomenally and provides a great number of items of interest. Earlier this year Stuart was awarded the Siemens Young Radio Amateur of the Year Award by the South African Amateur Radio Development Trust for taking the initiative and maintaining a high standard of both content and operating procedure. While Youth Net enjoys a great support, the aim remains to encourage more young people to join the weekly net. Call in on Thursday 28 December to celebrate the net's 50th time on the
air. The net gets together from 17:45 on 3 650 kHz. Source: The South African Radio League
