[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ***UPDATE*** Net Controllers Solicitation 2m and DSTAR November & December

[Bryan Pettigrew]

CQ All-

Starting to get some volunteers to step up as 2m and DSTAR net controllers
for the rest of the year.  Here's the list of signups thus far:

*Wednesday DSTAR*
26 Nov- OPEN or N8IK
22- KQ4CMA
29- OPEN or N8IK
6 Dec- KQ4CMA
12- Open or N8IK
20- KQ4CMA
27- OPEN or N8IK

*Thursday 2m FM*
16- KQ4DNE
23- Thanksgiving
30- OPEN
7 Dec- WD4ADF
19- KQ4CMA
21- WA6MPR
28- OPEN

And we always need backup controllers for the 2m net in the event the
primary NCS is unable to perform duties for that night.

Also, don't forget about potential NCS training for January!  If
interested, please send me an email so I can put your name on the list.

See you at club meeting-- TONIGHT!   We will not do the "parade of the
voluntolds" at club meeting.  😉

73- Bryan
