[Boatanchors] SSB nets for BA/Vintage ssb gear

Thanks, Al..............

Good news!  I'll keep your note posted and give it a whirl.  In addition to the Collins gear, I've got a WRL rig I'm anxious to get on the air.  About finished with the restoration and need only to give it some dummy load time to ensure all the smoke stays inside the tubes and components.  hi hi 

Hope to see you there.

Thanks agn es 73

Hi Chuck,
Yes, we are still there, 14293 +-, 2-3PM ET, but yesterday we gave up 
efore we started.  That happens occasionally in contest season.
A few weeks ago with the ARRL DX contest we were able to hold it, they 
ere kind enough to not park directly on top of us.
K5LYN is usually the start-off net ctrl, but he's otherwise occupied 
or a few weeks.  Vince, WB4BPS, has usually kicked it off since Lynn 
asn't been there, and I, Al, W8UT, have picked it up part way thru.  We 
ave others help to relay in folks that are too down in the mud for NC 
o hear.  We normally get checkins from most areas of the country.
Sorry to have missed you, Chuck, try again next week.  We rarely miss 
t least giving it a try. The Hallicrafters group is usually there ahead 
f us, and the Heathkit folks follow us.
73,
l, W8UT

 Does anyone know if the vintage ssb  net still exists?  I recall it was on

ontesters.
