[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] This Week's Net and February Net Control Station Solicitations

[Bryan Pettigrew]

CQ All-

Still looking for NCS volunteers for February!  I think with the QRM of the
alternate freq net last week and Inauguration support this week, this may
have faded into the noise.  Only one volunteer for the nets thus far, so
lots of openings for February are still on the table:

DSTAR Wednesday- 5 (WA6MPR), 12, 19. 26th
2m Thursday- 6, 12, 20 *WA6MPR), 27th

So if you're willing to volunteer your voice for NCS duties, please let me
know which net and days you'd like to take!  And speaking of alternate
frequency nets, I'll talk with the Club President about doing another one
of these nets in the early Spring on 220.   We had a very successful 70cm
net last week which shows a lot of us have this capability that can be
utilized in lieu of 2m operations!

73 and we'll see you down the log!
