We’re Not Another Net-Only Club.
Some amateur radio clubs build their schedules around nets. We built a repeater system worth using between them.
W7RPT is not another net-only club. We’re building something that stays alive long after net control signs off.
We’re Building a Community. Not Just a Check-In List.
The Sin City Repeater Group, Inc. does not organize its own traditional weekly club net. That’s intentional. Our priority is everyday amateur radio activity, reliable repeater infrastructure, technical experimentation, operator development, and genuine friendships across Las Vegas and Southern Nevada.
We want people using the system because they enjoy it, not simply because it’s time for a scheduled check-in. Conversations, repeater linking, AllStarLink, HF operating, digital modes, contests, public-service communications, special events, mentoring, and technical projects all have a place here.
Real Conversations
Spontaneous contacts, interesting discussions, and friendly operators without a script or roll call.
Real Experimentation
Repeaters, antennas, RF, digital voice, networking, AllStarLink, HF, and hands-on troubleshooting.
Real Participation
Operating events, public service, mentoring, field activities, contests, and friendships beyond the microphone.
We measure a radio community by what happens between the nets, not just how many people answer when their callsigns are called.

Three Great Nets. One Connected System.
We don’t sponsor a traditional club net, but our AllStarLink Hub 42230 carries three excellent nets operated by organizations we’re proud to support.
Monday brings amateur radio history, Wednesday brings the technical bench, and Friday brings the world.
All times are Las Vegas local time (Pacific Time).
RAWNY Net | W2PE
The Radio Association of Western New York (RAWNY) is among amateur radio’s historic organizations.
Chartered in February 1917, it has been affiliated with the ARRL since November 20, 1920.
The Monday net covers upcoming contests, special events, operating opportunities, and other radio topics of interest.
Access: AllStarLink Hub 42230
BARRA Tech Net | W2EUP
Sponsored by the Buffalo Amateur Radio Repeater Association, this net explores repeater systems, antennas, RF, troubleshooting, technology, and other technical radio subjects.
Sin City Repeater Group members serving as net control stations include Jeremy N2UGS, Rick KC2XD, Carl KE2FLX, Andrew KE2AAC, and Bill N4NJJ.

Mabuhay DX Club of Nevada Net | NA7LV
Friday night goes international. Hosted by our sister club, the Mabuhay DX Club of Nevada, this net welcomes operators from the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Canada, and the United States.
Different countries and backgrounds, connected by amateur radio.

New Hams Need More Than an Invitation to Check In.
Everybody says they welcome new amateur radio operators. We think welcoming them means meeting them where they actually are.
A new ham may not have a radio yet. They may not know how to program one, what a PL tone is, how offsets work, whether they can reach a repeater, or how to make that first contact. Some are still studying for their first license.
Telling someone to join a Thursday night net assumes they’ve already cleared several hurdles. We’ll help you clear those hurdles first.
We don’t assume beginners already have the equipment, knowledge, confidence, or experience to participate in a scheduled net. And we don’t confuse an invitation to check in with a complete mentoring program.
Our new-ham assistance starts with the person, not the schedule. Members can help through Zoom, Google Meet, email, text, phone calls, screen sharing, and face-to-face conversations.
We can help you understand licensing, select appropriate equipment, program a radio, listen to local repeaters, and prepare for your first contact.
We can even help arrange for someone to be expecting that first call. When you’re ready to press the push-to-talk button, you shouldn’t have to feel like you’re calling into the unknown.
Our goal isn’t another callsign on a check-in list. It’s another confident, capable amateur radio operator.
No License? No Radio? No Problem.
Whether you’re still curious about amateur radio, preparing for an FCC exam, or trying to get your first transceiver on the air, we’ll help you find the right next step.
We get you started before the Thursday night net.
