| Welcome To The Flamingo Net! The Flamingo Net is a south Florida amateur radio club. We have been active since 1954 as a social group for Hams. Most of our activity takes place on the ten meter band, but we also use two meters. We meet on the air each Friday night, starting on 29.044 MHz at 7:30 PM Eastern time. At 7:45, we move to the Broward repeater, 146.910. At 7:55 we go south to the KD4WET repeater, 146.865 MHz. At 8:00, we return to ten meters on 28.444 MHz. We welcome check-ins! Our activities include hosting Free Fleas (jointly with the UMARC) on the third Saturdays in April and November. These are held in the Physics parking lot of the University of Miami Coral Gables campus. We also hold BBQ's, picnics and dinners at various times throughout the year. We also hold lost transmitter (FOX) hunts (on both ten meters and two meters). |

| Updates This site was constructed on April 18, 2003. I will try to keep it updated as to recent or upcoming activity. The Flamingo Net held a 2m Vehicular Fox Hunt on Sunday morning, May 20, 2012. The fox Bill (WA4TEJ) was hidden in Highland Oaks Park(!). KI4DYS and KB4HAY were the first finders and will hide the next fox on Sunday morning, October 21, 2012. See the What's New Page for more information. These hunts, like most of our events, are open to EVERYONE (not just Flamingo Net members), so come to the hunt and find out how much FUN they are!! Our Flamingo Net Field Day Event will take place Saturday June 23rd, starting with 10m and 2m DFing practice at 10 AM and going on to giving out Field Day contacts at 2 PM. Our next Flamingo Net UPay4WhatUEat Dinner will be on Sunday evening, October 28, 2012 at 6 PM at the Hollywood Piccadilly Cafeteria (Hollywood Blvd.). Our Flamingo Net / UMARC Free Flea on Saturday morning, April 21, 2012 was cancelled due to bad weather. Thanks to all of you who braved the miserable weather and came anyway! Hope to see you on our next flea, November 17, 2012 in the Physics Parking Lot at the U. of Miami Coral Gables Campus. A Picnic/BBQ will follow the Free Flea at noon on Saturday November 17, 2012. It will be held in Brewer Park, just west of the U. M. campus. For location and driving information to any of our events, see the "What's new" page. |
