Starting mid-2004, MAARS began the IRLP Swapnet on Wednesday evenings, beginning at 9pm Central Time. Linked up with FM-38 (another popular large-area machine/system in the SE and SC Wisconsin, our net can now reach anyone who has access to IRLP Reflector 9204. We have had checkins from all over the United States, including Florida and Nevada.

Our net is more than just a swapnet... people exchange local amateur radio news, information about upcoming swapfests, information about upcoming events, and other announcements.

Anyone is welcome to offer ham radio or computer equipment during our nets for sale, or to request to purchase. No commercial sales are allowed. Hams are welcome to list materials belonging to other hams. Prices may be listed on the air, but we request that extended questions/answers be conducted after the main net completes.

Come join us on Wednesday evenings at 9pm!

The map below shows all of the machines that are known to link into IRLP 9204 on net evenings. We hope to talk with other groups to add their systems to the network on Wednesday evenings.

The files below are links to coverage maps involving the swapnet. The image on the left is a full-size 2000x2000 pixel image of the Wisconsin stations, and the image on the right is a reduced-size image more suitable for printing.
