THE
TRIPLE H
NET HISTORY
Over the past 40
years, the Triple H Net has
awarded
over 963 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,
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 5575!
The
Net operates 364 days/year on a
frequency of 7.190 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.
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 Mike
White,
W4MTS, are the Net's
'senior' NCS's. Others
include Bruce
Kocher, KI0JG, Barbara Heck,
KD7YOZ, Bob Percefull,
NC4RP, Ron Fial, KO7V, and Russ
Stoddard.,
KG6FUJ.
There
are many other stations that help
as 'officially designated relays'.
