MAC Slow Speed Code Net

Next Net:

Time:  7:00 P.M. (central)
Frequency:  +/- 7.138 MHz
Net Control/Master of Ceremonies/Nice Guy: Philip, K9PL

Are you interested in improving your code skills? Metro Amateur Radio Club
(MAC) would like to be of assistance. Three times a month we provide
on-the-air practice. You don't have to be a MAC member to participate.

The net operates on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesday of the month
at 7:00 P.M. local (currently 0100 Z, Thursday). We meet on 7.138 MHz (plus
or minus
QRM). Listen for CQ MAC and then send your callsign at YOUR speed. The net
will QRS (slow down) to the speed of the slowest op.

We don't use any special net protocol to keep things simple. Although this
net was developed to help Chicago area hams, we regularly have out of state
check-ins. If you are a FISTS member, feel free to exchange numbers
with other participants. http://www.fists.org

Listen for CQ MAC then send your callsign -- it couldn't be easier.

If you have any questions, please let us know via e-mail at
[mailto:mac@qsl.net]

After the net, please join us for an informal roundtable discussion on the
MAC repeater (Niles, IL). 147.315 MHz (+600 offset, No PL).

All check-ins can redeem special DONUT QSL (Mmmmmm donuts, is there anything
they can't do?) at the next MAC meeting on March 6, 2002. If you missed
the last meeting... you missed Krispy Kreme donuts!


March 6, 2002 Meeting program:
