A few good links are often more useful than a bunch of links.
A bunch of links can be highly useful afterward.
There are a gazillion (I counted) nets occurring every week in the Davis/Sacramento area. I'm listing a bunch below, ranked according to my preference for participating in them. You will likely have a different ordering, so try them all and see which ones you like best! All of them take visitor checkins. It's a great time to learn what it means to participate in a net and how "directed communication" works.
