[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] September NCS Volunteers

[Bryan Pettigrew]

CQ All-

Here's where we stand for NCS volunteers:

DSTAR Wednesday- N8IK all month
2m Thursday:  4 (WA6MPR)  11 OPEN   18  OPEN  25 KO2THF

SPECIAL NETS- I've gotten *some* interest in putting the HF and 70cm
special nets on the schedule for next month but not enough to justify
putting them on the schedule and hoping people participate.  So, if you're
interested in either or both nets, send me an email so I can add you to the
tally.

73 and we'll see you down the log!
