Highland Park's North Shore Radio Club will again link its repeaters on 
February 10 for the 8:00 p.m. net. 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 
American Radio Relay League (ARRL) news, the NSRC net includes the RAIN 
report and AR Newsline. The RAIN report this week is another RAIN Report about the 
sun, "January, 2005 - Solar History," for good reason. An event occurring 
between January 14 and 22 left an indelible mark in the annals of solar astronomy. 
RAIN Founder/Producer Hap Holly, KC9RP talks with Tomas Hood, NW7US, 
propagation columnist for CQ, CQ-VHF and Popular Communications magazines about this. 

Amateur Radio Newsline discusses the part Amateur Radio will take in a major 
emergency communications conference this spring and an astronaut ham tells 
what its like to celebrate new years in space. There's also a look back at ham 
radio 
on the silver screen.

All licensed amateurs are welcome to check in. Check-ins are taken by net 
control Mark, WA9IVH, at the beginning of the net, after John Wass' ARRL 
report and hamfest calendar, between RAIN and Newsline, and after Newsline.
