[Central-Electronics] CE Equipment and Collins NETs

[K6jek@aol.com]

I often check into the AM net and have checked into the SSB net.   The peopl=
e=20
running these nets are happy to have you on, Collins or no.   I usually chec=
k=20
in with the 100V and a 75S-3C. On AM I have used the 100V but usually use th=
e=20
homebrew and a 75S-3C.    The WC net control for the AM net, Bill, N6PY, is=20=
a=20
terrfic net control.

PS:   The Judy Collins album doesn't count.
