Who/What/Where/When is WDN?

The Western District Net is part of the amateur radio National Traffic System and covers the 13 Western New York Counties. It is a means of sending and/or receiving messages (Emergency, Priority, Welfare, or other) as a free public service in case of an emergency.

We meet daily at 2130 eastern time on the 145.17 Mhz repeater (PL 110.9) which is in Attica, New York (20 miles SE of Buffalo) for the purpose of handling formal written traffic, and training in Traffic Handling.

Alternate repeaters include:

• 145.11 (PL 110.9) Bristol, NY

*NOTE: As of December, 2008, simplex night has been suspended due to inactivity. We will resume simplex nights if, in the future, the need arises.

Every 15th of the month is simplex night so the net is run on each of the following frequencies depending on your location:

	Buffalo area:	147.54 MHz
	Rochester area:	147.42 MHz
	Southern Tier:	146.55 MHz
