The net starts at 9:30 am on USB and runs until 10:00 am.
This week I am instituting a change because 146.52 has recently been occupied by other activity.
>From now on we will stay on 144.200 and just change mode to FM at 10:00.

This will actually be simpler and more apparent of the mode change.
50.125 USB
223.50 FM
446.00 FM or 432.200 USB?
Can be activated as desired.

Note: CQ VHF Contest is on two weekends this year:
July 5/6 for CW/voice on 6m or 2m
July 19/20 for digital modes on 6m or 2m
begins 1200utc Sat until 1200utc Sunday
[VHFcontesting] 2025 CQWW VHF is in 2 months -- rule change reminder

The net begins at 9:30am on 144.200 SSB until 10:00am.
At 10:00 the net stays on *144.200* but switches to FM.

This is a change due to other activity going on 146.52 taking precedence 
over the Net.

If using a FM-only radio one can enter 144.200 on VFO (or program a new 
memory for 144.200).  I am using a multi-mode radio so have one memory 
programmed for SSB and the other for FM (both on 144.200).

We can also activate (if desired):
50.125 USB
223.50 FM
446.00 FM, or
432.200 USB

Note: NEXT Saturday is the Kenai Peninsula Hamfest so there will be NO NET
