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 haved helped make this Net so successful
over the last 34 years.

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'.
