[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ***FINAL*** July Net Control - Special Nets Solicitation

[Bryan Pettigrew]

CQ All-

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

DSTAR Wednesday:  1 (OPEN), 8 (OPEN), 15 (KQ4CMA), 22 (OPEN), 29 July (N8IK)
2m Thursday:  2 (OPEN), 9 (WD4ADF), 16 (KQ4YGT), 23 (KQ4CMA) and 30 July
(KR4CPB)
Special Nets:  None for July

There's still a lot of open slots for this month for both DSTAR and 2m
Thursday.   N81K is going to be unavailable for most of the month of July,
so we need controllers for DSTAR for the plurality of the month.  And since
there were no takers for a Special Net, we'll try to do one in August.

73 and we'll see you down the log!
