Some events stir emotions that are extremely difficult to express in words. Any commentary attempting to explain the horrible loss of human life during the sneak terrorist attack on
the World Trade Center and Pentagon Tuesday September 11th would indeed be woefully inadequate.
The Swan User Group promotes the interest, use and
understanding of amateur radio communications. Amateur
radio equipment manufactured by the former Swan
Electronics of Oceanside, CA is the main focus of this
group.
However, it is also important to preserve the
names and accomplishments of other American pioneers
in amateur radio manufacturing. To this end, we offer
information regarding communications equipment produced
by these great radio builders of the past. Additionally,
we recognize several amateur radio net operations that
showcase the many different brands of older tube type
transmitting and receiving devices that continue to
delight their keepers.
Swan User Net organizers also support the retention of electron tube technology and provide on-the-air associated technical discussions at scheduled net meetings. Current Swan Net schedules: Swan User Net - NOTE CHANGE: Sunday 2100GMT
on 14250Khz. Swan Technical Nets - Wednesday 2300GMT
on 14251Khz. Saturday 2-4PM eastern time on 7235Khz.
Those unable to
check-in during scheduled net meetings can access our various on-line "QSO" rooms or subscribe to our Swan-Net mail list. Both the QSO room and Swan-Net mail list options are powerful methods of contacting other Swan and vintage radio enthusiasts for the purpose of exchanging greetings and technical information.
Cubic Communications, former manufacturer of both Swan and Cubic amateur radio equipment, has authorized Jim Singleton Publications (formerly Brock Publications) to produce Instruction and Operating Manuals associated with all Swan and Cubic amateur radio communications equipment and accessories. In recent years, Atlas and Siltronix Radio manuals have been added to the list of available publications.
