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 K4AG repeater, 147.150 MHz (+.6, PL 94.8). At 8:00, we return to ten meters on 28.444 MHz. We welcome check-ins!

Our activities include hosting Fleas (jointly with the UMARC), often on the third Saturdays in April and November. These are held in parking lot 1-109 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).

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, May 5, 2024. The foxes, Stu and Ray, were hidden in Tanglewood Park, just east of Palm Ave and south of Pines Blvd. . Our next hunt will be on December 8, 2024 when Bill and Phil can hide the fox. 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 Flea at the U. of MIami on November 23, 2024 in lot 102 turned out well. The weather was great and the turn-out fairly good. Our next Flea should be in early Spring  of 2025.

The Picnic / BBQ that followed the flea was great! There were nine attendees and the weather and eats were superb - thank you to chef Fred.

The Flamingo Net UPay4WhatUEat (UP4WUE) dinner took place on  Sunday evening, October 27, 2024. We had a good turn-out and a nice meal and discussion.

The Flamingo Net Field Day Event took place on Saturday morning, June 22, 2024. We had two DFing practicers and made several 10m contacts. We also WON in our category!
