The Triple H Net was founded in 1976 by W2LTP, Hank Greenberg, as a Worked All
States and DX Assistance Net.

This web page is dedicated to those many silent keys and previous members who have
helped make this Net so successful over the last 29 years.

THE TRIPLE H NET HISTORY

Over the past 29 years, the Triple H Net has awarded over 840 Worked-All-States  certificates
to radio operators in all 50 states and 17 DXCC countries.  However, there are over thirty other
types of award certificates one can obtain for the various kinds of contacts made on the Net, the
majority of them capable of multiple endorsements.  The first net secretary (now administrator),
Irwin Mattes, WB8SSR (now a silent key), used to make each award by  hand .  As more award
possibilities were introduced in the middle 1980's, WB6FNI (now W7FTT) was asked to make all
extra award certificates.  When WB8SSR became a silent key, then all awards were generated by
W7FTT using 'publisher' software and new ink-jet printers.  The number of issued awards and
endorsements are now around 4770!

The Net operates 364 days/year on a frequency of 7.235 mHz, starting at 0700 Z.  The first thirty
minutes are dedicated to check-ins, with preference given to DX stations first and foremost.  The
stateside check-ins are taken according to call districts that coincide with the day of the month.
On New Year's Eve, there is the annual Triple H Net QSO-Party, held exclusively for only net
members (those who have earned WAS certificates on the Triple H Net).

The Net has a free and open  QSL Bureau , first operated by Bernie Chap, WB0EYT (now a silent
key), currently operated and maintained by Roger Attwell, WN7M, of Everett, WA.  Roger is also
the other official 'officer' of the Net, and maintains the Net Control Station (NCS) duty roster.

Gene Adkins, W4GA, is the Net Proctor and Observer, helping to maintain the well organized
Net operations and courteous manner of check-ins, along with the relay station protocol.

There are a number of official Net Control Stations (NCS's) that maintain and control the nightly
operations, even under and despite difficult band conditions.  Mark Nodine, KJ6MS, and Keith
Johnson, W0HHH, are the Net's 'senior' NCS's.  Others include Bill Brown, W7QVO; Dexter
Daugherty, WB4KDP; David Tingler, N5USH and Steve Frobase, WB4UKL.  W7FTT runs the net
operations on Friday nights. There are many other stations that help as 'officially designated relays'.
