> The PPRAA Simplex Net is being revived.  The net will
> meet on Thursday's at 7PM local time.  The frequency
> is 146.58mhz and will use FM mode.  This is the date,
> time and frequency of the previous net.  The first net
> will be on June 17, 2004.  We invite everyone to drop
> by the frequency and check into the net.  The net is
> for all licensed amateur radio operators.  You do not
> need to be a member of the PPRAA or any other group to
> participate. Everyone is invited to participate.
> 
> We will have check-in's, announcements and articles
> from the 0-Beat news letter, the ARRL and other
> sources just to name a few.  The same source may not
> be used every week.  We'll try to add quizes and other
> lighter items to make it fun.  At this time we do not
> anticipate handling traffic.  If you have other
> subjects we would like covered please let us know.

> Patrick Kelly, KC0MIR, and myself, Jim Harris, AB0UK,
> are heading up this effort and will share the net
> control duties.  Patrick has prior experience and I'm
> just an interested person.
> 
> We would like to get others involved in net control
> duties and use this as training for net controllers. 
> This is a good way to get experience without having to
> be responsible for a daily or weekly net.  If you have
> an interest contact Patrick or myself.

> An interest has been expressed about starting a 10
> meter net.  This would provide better coverage on the
> front range and always with the possibility of skip
> coverage.  If there is an interest we will also
> consider that as well.  Please voice your opinions.
> 
> Please give this the widest dissemination to any
> individual or groups that might be interested.  Thank
> you for your support.
