Chicago Area Net Directory (CAND)

Last Update: Oct 4th, 2014

Are you new to the Chicago ham radio scene?Are you interested in becoming active with a repeater organization in theChicago 6-collar county or North West Indiana?Are you looking for something to listen to on VHF/UHF in the evening hours?

For answers to these questions and more you need not go any further thanCAND, the Chicago Area Net Directory, compiled by Ben Straw/KC9UNS.When Ben began assembling this directory in 2011, his motivation was toprovide a comprehensive document for volunteer examiners and radio clubsthat can be handed out to new and aspiring hams. Ben recognizes that unlessnew hams actually begin talking to someone on the air soon, they're apt to loseinterest and find another hobby/service.

Unlike net directories of the past, CAND will be revised when necessary andlive using Google Spreadsheet. Friends of Ben will be monitoring the 6 and2-meter bands along with the 220 & 440 MHz bands for additions and changesto this compendium. For the latest CAND online go to: http://tinyurl.com/chicago-ham-nets

Many thanks go out to those who have assisted Ben in this laborious project.Special thanks to the RAIN Report's Hap Holly/KC9RP for helping to verifynet info for the north and Northwest suburbs from his Des Plaines home andSK Dennis Duffner W9FBM for helping him start the project; Ben resides in Hammond IN.Additions and changes to the Chicago Area Net Directory are welcome either toBen (kc9uns@gmail.com) or to Hap (hap@therainreport.com) .
