Written by Don Locke on August 11, 2025

The Monthly Kids Net is a fun and friendly on-air gathering just for young amateur radio operators (and those curious about the hobby). It’s hosted on the Hat Butte Repeater:

  • Frequency: 146.920 MHz
  • PL Tone: 100.0 Hz
  • Offset: −0.6 MHz
  • Mode: FM
  • When: 2nd Tuesday of every month

What’s It All About?

The Kids Net is designed to give young hams a chance to:

  • Practice making contacts over the air
  • Build confidence in using their radios
  • Learn about amateur radio through fun topics and questions
  • Connect with other young operators in the community

No license? No problem! Youngsters can join in by talking on the radio with the help of a licensed control operator—perfect for parents or guardians who are already hams.


Why Join In?

  • It’s kid-friendly – No technical jargon overload
  • It’s interactive – Everyone gets a chance to talk
  • It’s welcoming – Open to all ages and skill levels

If you have a young person in your family who’s curious about amateur radio, this is the perfect opportunity to get them on the air in a supportive and encouraging environment.

📅 Mark your calendar for the 2nd Tuesday—we’ll hear you on the Hat Butte Repeater!
