FAQ
Why do we need a Pride event?
Events like this are a way of people to be proud of who they are, and show that there is wide spread support in amateur radio for inclusion. It shows that anyone can join amateur radio, be supported and be treated well.
Why only LGBT? Wheres the QIA+?
We support and respect all of you who fall somewhere in the rainbow alphabet. We’re doing our best to provide coverage for the 4 (+1 Bonus) stations we already have, and honestly we could use a few more volunteer operators. If you’re interested in helping out, or you would be willing to coordinate an additional station for next year, please reach out to us at pride2024@prideradio.group
What does “Network” mean? What’s the Pride Radio Network?
The PRN is a linked network of different IP-based services such as DMR, Echolink, System Fusion, Hamshack Hotline etc to communicate. It’s what allows PRG members all from over the world to check into our weekly nets without kilowatt amps or ideal propagation. This category of contact will allow more hams to participate, but we’ll still give all due recognition to participants who use a more challenging mode to contact all four stations.
