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

[Bryan Pettigrew]

CQ and Merry Christmas All-

NCS stations are set for January!  Here's your NCS's for next month:

DSTAR Wednesday:  7- KQ4CMA  14- N8IK  21- KQ4CMA  28- N8IK
2m Thursday:  1 (NO NET)  8- K4KBK  15-KQ4YGT   22- KO2THF  29- KQ4CMA

SPECIAL NETS-  Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of responses for Special
Nets, so all of the prospective nets are ON HOLD for right now.   I only
had 3 or 4 members who responded that they were interested in any or all of
the Special Nets.  There's some chatter about potentially doing a joint net
with another club, so we'll see where this goes.

Have a great Christmas and looking forward to an outstanding New Year on
the radio!   See you down the log!
