Powhatan Area Radio Club
Where the FUN Begins
The club sponsors a weekly Net Control Operator (NCO) training net every Monday at 7pm. Operating as Net Control, for a special event or emergency activation takes practice. The training net offers the opportunity to get that practice in a friendly, low-stress and non-emergency situation.
If you have participated in a net and would like to take the next step and train as an NCO, please review the NCO training script that is provided below and complete the registration form. Someone from the club will be in touch with you to schedule your training session.
Training never ends. Seeking knowledge and improvement should always be a paramount life goal.
On this page you will find different types of training courses and independent study that should help you improve your skills and abilities
