[30m] Net Details

[Karl F. Larsen]

    Hi Jason, I can see the time zone idea is not needed at least last 
evening. I in south NM could and did talk to the East and West coast. So 
two net control stations should be enough. Where they are may not be the 
most important thing.  One should be sort of East and the other sort of 
West.

     If I get the chance this evening I plan to get on 10139 and see 
what goes on. I sure had a good time yesterday beginning about 0000Z 
which is 5:00 PM local.
