Monitor's Note:

The Hambel Belgaum Net warm up session( I call it also prenet session of Belgaum Net) usually starts as early as 0615ist or  so, many joins for QSO.Actual net starts around 0700ist (0130utc) with usual introduction message about the net by VU2KOC, one of the senior most net controller.You can hear regularly VU2RZA from Chennai ,VU2RTF From Coimbatore and many.Many amateurs from Eastern and North Eastern part of India joins the warm up/prenet session to make  QSO with Southern Indian Stations to make use of early morning favourable propagation condition and also low noise level.I also finds difficult to copy amateur stations after 0700ist (0130utc) as signal strength of the stations(most  from South Indian region usually weak here and goes down weaker and weaker.So, I sometimes monitor 7050kHz lsb The Belgaum net via kiwiwebsdr Bengaluru on my mobile browser at the following link:

And it is a wonderful experience for me to listen to so many Southern India based amateurs joining this net every morning.You can find the history of The  Hambel Amateur Radio Club & Belgaum Net. Compiled by VU2KOC & VU2BRJ and circulated by VU2JOS(NIAR,Hyderabad) in the following pdf link:
