[ILHam] North Shore Radio Club Thursday Net at 8:00 p.m.

[MFGardner at aol.com]

The North Shore Radio Club, NS9RC, has several repeaters. Two of them are 
linked for the Thursday evening nets: the two meter repeater (147.345 MHz, 
+600 Hz., PL 107.2 Hz.) and the 440 repeater (442.075 +5MHz., PL 100.0 Hz.). 
Those 
checking in to the 8:00 p.m. net may do so on either repeater. It's suggested 
that the operator pause for about a second after keying the microphone to 
allow the linkage to pick up the request to transmit, especially on the 440 band. 


In addition to local traffic, the NSRC net includes the RAIN report and AR 
Newsline. The RAIN report this week features Hap (KC9RP) Holly's interview 
with Steve Bible, N7HPR, Vice President of TAPR, the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio 
Corp. about the current state and future of digital modes in Amateur Radio. 

Newsline includes a number of reports, beginning with discussion of an ARRL 
proposal to restructure Amateur Radio along bandwidth lines. This proposal has 
caused a lot of discussion in the nation's ham community. And it may cause 
the League to rethink its position.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Mark Abramowicz, 
NT3V, is in Philadelphia, and has the rest of the story.

All check-ins are welcome Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. Check-ins are taken by net 
control at the beginning of the net, between RAIN and Newsline, and after 
Newsline.

Our net control station for September 9 is Mark, WA9IVH.
