Purpose

Page

The Central Virginia 6 Meter SSB Net was founded on traditional standards of Amateur Radio procedures and ethics. Its purpose is to promote Amateur Radio, on-air fellowship and, in particular, six meter single sideband operation. The net was conceived and initiated on October 19, 2004 by a small group of motivated Amateurs in the Richmond area as a directed net where on each day of the week a different station would act as net control.

It is the intent of the founders to give as many operators as possible the opportunity to develop the skills and confidence required to serve as net control operators. Finally, the circle of like-minded Amateurs that find the six meter band and SSB operation challenging and fulfilling will grow into a fellowship dedicated to the art of VHF communications and the perpetuation of the Amateur Radio hobby.
