MARL-Net

MARL-Net

The club is an originating sponsor of the Mid-South Area Repeater Linking Network which connects repeaters in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas. The MARL-Net local station is hosted by the 442.800 repeater in Olive Branch. This network uses the Internet and Wires-X to connect all member clubs. This Wires-X hub is connected 24 hours a day to the 442.800 repeater via Analog RF connection and serves as a local connection to this network. There are issues with linking repeaters in this manner and it is highly encouraged that anyone wishing to link first send an email to Information@w5obm.com. for further clarification. Repeater hangs and looping can occur if not properly coordinated. Connection logs are maintained and violators will be black-listed from making connections that impact the quality of service we strive to provide.

The MARL-Net holds a directed net each month on the fourth Tuesday at 7:00pm. Participating clubs take turns hosting the net. NCS operators must be trained before calling the net and will receive a certificate of completion after their training is completed.

This is a fun net! We expect that additional clubs in the tri-state area will be added. Other than just being fun, this net also proves that under certain circumstances, the Internet can serve a useful purpose in emergency situations and this is a great exercise in communicating over a larger area. And... we get to meet great new people! Please join us on the fourth Tuesday night of every month at 7pm for the MARL-Net. You can join us on one of the following repeaters:
