[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ***REMINDER*** January 2026 Net Control Station Solicitation

[Bryan Pettigrew]

CQ All-

Here's who we've got as our net controllers for January:

DSTAR Wednesday:  1 (NO NET)  7- KQ4CMA  14- N8IK  21- KQ4CMA  28- N8IK
2m Thursday:  8- OPEN  15-KQ4YGT   22- OPEN  29- KQ4CMA

I've only had two people express interest in any or all of the Special
Nets.  With so little interest in the nets, *I will be hard pressed to put
them on the calendar for next month*.  But if you want to have any or all
of these special nets, please send me an email ASAP!

Have a Merry Christmas!  73 and we'll see you down the log!
