Highland Park's North Shore Radio Club will again link its repeaters on 
February 17 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, "There IS Fun Above 30 
MHz," talks about the tradition and fun you'll find above 30 MHz. Bill Pasternak, 
WA6ITF, interviews Warren Elly, W1GUD, reporter and anchor for Fox television in 
Tampa, Florida. 

Amateur Radio Newsline informs us that South Africa goes entry level code 3 
and Radio Netherlands warns short-wave broadcasters about BPL, and tells 
listeners the story of a rather interesting vanity club call sign.

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.
