CONGRATULATIONS!

As the last RF check-in of the day on the Alaska Morning Net https://wl7lp.com/amnsite/ , you've received the Red Lantern Award!  What the heck is this nonsense you might say?  Well since we are an Alaskan net, we've used the history and traditions of the Iditarod Dog Sled Race to "award" the last RF check-in of the net for their perseverance! 

Alaska Morning Net

The Alaska morning net started out as a local Anchorage 2 meter net. Folks from all around the Anchorage area as well as the surrounding areas would check into the net. Later repeaters were place further south of Anchorage allowing folks from the south and south east Alaska to check into the Alaska morning net each morning. repeaters was placed going North of Anchorage and folks from Eagle river all the way to Wasilla was able to join the Alaska morning net.

As the years went on and the Internet was born. Voice over internet protocol (VOIP) was created, soon IRLP, AllStar and Echolink was born. The ability to link a ham radio to a computer while the computer was linked into the internet allowed the ham radio world the ability to reach out to further places and countries. it wasn’t long after that, Alaska morning net started using this new voip technology to link nodes to one central Hub or Reflector.  you can find the Alaska morning net on IRLP  Winsystem reflector 9100 channel 9 (9109). if using AllStar you can find the Alaska morning net on Allstar Hub 29332 and 27133, for Echolink you can find us by searching for WL7LP-R or if using a node of your own. use DTMF number 9191.

The Alaska morning net has come a long way over the years and is currently the longest running net on the internet. It is a two hour long net. We are a rag chew type net and enjoy chatting with each and everyone of you. Folks from all over the world join us each morning. We are one big happy family and once you check in with us you become a part of that family. The Alaska morning net would not be what it is today without you the people that check into it each and every morning. We appreciate each one of you. I don’t want to leave out our awesome net controllers that help run the net every day each week. We have a different net controller for every day of the week and each helps each other out when they can’t run the net. Without them and you there would be no Alaska morning net. I want to thank you all for keeping the Alaska morning net alive for all these years.

The net runs Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 11 am Alaska standard time. again it is a rag chew style net. We love getting to know different things about you each day. Become part of our big happy family and come join us.

I would like to provide as much information about the AMN as much as possible, so if there is any one out there that has further info on the AMN. Please feel free to send me an email. You can use the contact link up in the menu up top and I will add that info to this page. Thank you all again for making the Alaska morning net what it is today. I look forward to hearing and chatting with you all.

The AMN is hosted on a computer system that is constantly growing. Maintaining the current system and adding new equipment can be expensive and since AMN is a ham radio system, no form of commercial income is allowed. That means that for the system to be successful, it depends on volunteers and donations.
