Here's where we stand for NCS' for the month of July:

DSTAR Wednesday:  1 (OPEN), 8 (OPEN), 15 (KQ4CMA), 22 (OPEN), 29 July (N8IK)
2m Thursday:  2 (OPEN), 9 (OPEN), 16 (KQ4YGT), 23 (KQ4CMA) and 30 July

In addition, I'm still looking for inputs and interest for a potential
"special net" for the month.
