Building Our Amateur Community Since 1991

“The ACORN Net” was first established years ago on the 145.43 repeater in Springfield, MO to support and broadcast the weekly Amateur Radio Newline audio feed. After a smattering of technical hurdles, WE ARE BACK!

Making an Impact Across the Southwest Missouri Region

Our main goal is social focused and to also draw more attention to global amateur radio usage via discussions and amateur radio related news. There are long established groups supporting ARES, RACES, Skywarn, etc. We will always support those legacy efforts as well, however will not compete for airtime in those spaces.
