The World Famous Chicken Net!

www.chicken.net

Welcome to The World Famous Chicken Net, Northern California's premier 2 meter net. The Chicken Net meets every night at 10:00 pm on the 145.190 MHzK6CDF repeater, located high atop Mt. Jackson in Sonoma County, overlooking the scenic Russian River and the diverse town of Guerneville. All licensed Amateur Radio operators are invited to participate. The only requirements are a Technician class or higher license, a 88.5PLand a good sense of humor. New check-ins are traditionally welcomed with a hearty BEGAWK from the chickens.

The Beginning of the Begawking as told by the founder Alan N6VUD (aka Vudman)

"Well, it all started about fifteen years ago, on a cold, frosty December night. There had been quite a cold spell. For about two weeks the thermometer hadn't risen above 32 degrees Fahrenheit."

"I lived in a slummy trailer park called Parker's Resort on Neeley Road in Guerneville. Folklore has it that Charles Manson's Family had lived here in the 60's. (On November 8, 1972, a hiker discovered a hand protruding from the ground. It belonged to a 26 year old Marine who had been shotgunned and decapitated. Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme and two Aryan Brotherhood prison escapees were subsequently arrested in Stockton and charged with the murder.) The campground had hundreds of chickens, both hens and roosters, descendents of those raised by the Family. They lived wild, under trailers, in trees, shrubs, and junked cars. Every time I opened my trailer door, 30 chickens would stampede into my home on the hunt for bread crumbs, dog food, or anything else I had."

"I don't remember how or why, but one cold, cold, night about 12:15 am, I called to order the first Chicken Net. Ken N6MSJ was chick-in number one and Levie (can't remember her call) was chick-in number two. Jeff KC6PJV swears he was the third chick-in that night. I will neither confirm nor deny his allegations.

"The net lasted about ten minutes. It was obvious that it would be a fun nightly net and something that would grow, but I didn't have a clue that it would turn into what it has. It started out controversial, lots of begawks and rowdy, unruly behavior. I hope the net stays fun, light and fluffy. I love the Chicken Net."

Also a core part of the group is the "Radio-Active" Chicken. This symbolic chicken gets passed from one member of the Chicken Net group to another every couple of months. Throughout the years it has had many call signs stamped, drawn, carved and voodoo'd onto it, as well as many colorful additions. This is as it is today.
