[FARC] DX NET

[Howard W3CQH]

That page doesn't seem to exist anymore - you should check with the net 
control station for an update.

Also there is the 3905ccn - check out this url:

There used to be an other DX net in the afternoons on 14.246 starting about 
1600 local, with the net control in Fl and the other net control somewhere 
in the midwest, but I think that either 1 or both of the netcontrol station 
got old and sick, and then the following took over the freq:
