K OF C NET SCHEDULE - SATURDAYS (EASTERN TIME):

Saturdays: 0900 ET (1400 UTC): 7.193 MHz
Saturdays: 1500 ET (2000 UTC): 14.243 MHz

Welcome to the companion email group for the Knights of Columbus Net! This group was formed for the discussion and promotion of the K of C Net - an HF net for ham radio operators who also happen to be - or are interested in becoming - member brothers of the Knights of Columbus.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. The Order has grown from several members in one council to more than 13,000 councils and 1.7 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan. Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community and also supporting your local Catholic Church.

Interested non-Knights are welcome to join the Net and this email group to learn more about the Knights of Columbus but discussion antithetical to the Holy See or the Magisterium or the Roman Catholic Church is not welcome. Also, Brother Knights should take care to not discuss any specific information regarding degree initiations.

(Also, check out our unofficial "companion" net, the St. Maximilian Kolbe (SP3RN) Net hosted by W3QT on 7.214 MHz on Saturday mornings at 8:00am ET and on 3.814 MHz on Sunday evenings at 7:00pm ET.)
