Message
CQ APRSHF hello from [your HF band]
Put your own words in place of the part in square brackets.
ANSRVR is a group server: it acknowledges your message and sends it on to everyone in the group.
When
The net meets every Saturday and Sunday, all day, Pacific Time.
Each SSID is counted once a session, for CQ APRSHF sent to ANSRVR that meets this net's two rules.
What counts
- Each SSID is counted once a session, for a message to ANSRVR that starts CQ APRSHF.
- An operator with two SSIDs is counted twice.
- The net is open every Saturday and Sunday, all day (Pacific Time).
- Joining, renewing or leaving the group without a message counts too.
- A message that names the group in a form the server could not read counts too.
- When this site misses a message, the server's or the bot's answer to it counts in its place, an answer to a join included.
- A name that is not shaped like a callsign is counted like any other.
- A check-in must be heard on the air by a gateway (an IGate) and passed to this site and be sent from APRS Connect, APRSdroid, aprs.fi apps, PinPoint, APRSIS32, BPQ32, Graywolf or JS8Call.
- A check-in that misses any of this is kept for net control to add.
- Net control can add others by hand.
The net's controllers chose this rule. APRS Nets is run by AxelStack LLC, which makes APRS Connect.

By radio
This net counts only check-ins heard on the air. One sent over the internet is kept and not counted.
If no gateway is in range of you, net control can add you by hand.
