SWAN Radio Network Communications

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 - Sunday 1600 eastern time on 14292Khz. Swan Technical Nets - Wednesday 2200GMT on 14292Khz. Saturday 2-3:30PM eastern time on 7242Khz.

There will be no formal net meetings on the following occasions during 2023: Easter (April 9th), Mother's Day (May 14th), Father's Day (June 18th). Christmas Eve (December 24th)

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.
