>by states listed, followed by anyone, anywhere and signal reports exchanged
>using the Circuit Merit (CM) rating criteria.

>In order to minimize any inconvenience to primary and other users of the
>frequency, this net will be limited to about 30 minutes.   If the primary
>working frequency is in use, check up the band on the other shared 60 meter
>allocations.
