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

[MFGardner at aol.com]

Once again Mark, WA9IVH, will be net control for the Thursday evening net of 
the North Shore Radio Club on linked repeaters. Check in on the two meter 
repeater (147.345 MHz, +600 Hz., PL 107.2 Hz.) or the 440 repeater (442.075 
+5MHz., PL 100.0 Hz.). 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, and John Wass' with the local hamfest and ARRL 
news, the NSRC net includes the RAIN report and AR Newsline. The RAIN report 
this week continues "The Digital State of Amateur Radio." The ARRL is proposing 
to petition the FCC to reallocate the HF ham bands via bandwidth rather than 
by spectrum only. Steve Bible, N7HPR, Vice President of TAPR, the Tucson 
Amateur Packet Radio Corp. talked about the digital state of Amateur Radio with 
RAIN's Founder/Producer, Hap Holly, KC9RP.

Amateur Radio Newsline's David Black, KB4KCH has been following the story of 
ham radio's communications during and after Hurricane Frances in Florida and 
reports on a number of success stories which should make amateurs proud.

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.
