What is the Rooster Net?
We are a group of amateur radio operators who have been meeting on the radio every day of the year since September 10, 1957 when the net was founded by Doug Frothingham, K2IZI of Smithtown, NY. We operate on a frequency of 3.990 MHz. Anyone with a general class or higher license is welcome to participate. Our official net time is 0600 to 0700 Eastern (US), but we usually run over.

In addition to the on-air activity, we get together at least 4 times a year. In April we have lunch together in the Pennsylvania Dutch country. Mid-June finds us at Valley Forge, PA for our golf/dinner/picnic weekend. A large group meets in Myrtle Beach, SC for a week at the end of October. The Florida Flocking is in February in, you guessed it, Florida.

To become a member, you need to check-in 20 times in a 90-day period between 0600 and 0700 Eastern . Then we have an entertaining on-the-air ceremony and you become an official, numbered Rooster.
