💬 Freq51 Weekly Net

Welcome to the Freq51 Weekly Net — a friendly, open mesh check‑in designed to bring people together, test gear, and keep our community connected.

Whether you’re a longtime ham, a Meshtastic tinkerer, or brand new to the mesh, this is your weekly excuse to hop on and say hi.

🌐 What Is the Weekly Net?

The Weekly Net is a live Meshtastic check‑in that helps bridge the gap between ham radio operators and Meshtastic users. It gives us real insight into who’s active, how well the mesh is performing, and whether messages are actually getting through.

Think of it as a roll call — but way cooler.

📅 When It Happens

🗓 Every Wednesday
⏰ 5:00 PM – 11:59 PM (local time)

The net opens at 5:00 PM and runs through the end of the day, giving everyone plenty of time to check in — whether you’re early, late, or somewhere in between.

📡 How to Check In

Send a message on the mesh using this exact format:

(LONG NAME) - (CITY, STATE) #FREQ51

✅ Example

bashNinja - Bluffdale, UT #FREQ51

This format helps us reliably track participation and stats — so please stick to it.

💬 Follow Along on Discord

We also mirror the Weekly Net activity to Discord so everyone can watch the check-ins roll in — even if you’re not on the mesh at that moment.

📍 Channel: #mt-weekly-net

All valid NET check-ins are automatically reported in this channel, making it easy for the community to:

• 👀 See who’s active each week
• 📡 Watch the mesh light up in real time
• 🤝 Stay connected from Discord and RF at the same time

📊 NET Summary Report
A full summary of the Weekly Net — including total check-ins and activity stats — is automatically posted the next morning on Thursday at 8:00 AM.

⏰ Discord Reminders
We also offer optional reminder posts on Discord for those who opt in:

• 🌅 A reminder the morning of the NET
• 🚀 A reminder right when the NET starts at 5:00 PM

It’s an easy way to stay in the loop and never miss a check-in, whether you’re on RF, Discord, or both.

💡 For those who want to dive deeper, the Weekly Net bot commands are detailed on our Discord Commands page.

If you’re on Discord during the NET window, hop in and say hi!

🎯 Why Participate?

Checking in helps the entire network. The Weekly Net allows us to:

• 📊 Get a real count of active people (not just nodes)
• 🧪 Run regular live tests of radios, clients, and routing
• 💥 Stress test the mesh with real traffic
• 🤝 Strengthen the bridge between ham radio and Meshtastic communities

Plus… it’s just fun to see who’s out there each week.

📣 Make It a Habit

Set a reminder. Check in every Wednesday. Try new gear. Test a new antenna. Say hello from a new location.

The mesh is better when it’s used — and you’re part of what makes it work.

See you on the airwaves.
