[ILHam] Thursday evening 2 m. and 440 MHz linked net

[MFGardner at aol.com]

The Chicago area's North Shore Radio Club will link its repeaters on May 12 
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, "My Early Days as A Ham," is Part One of a talk 
by former Chicago and current L.A. broadcaster, Dick Helton, W9CTY. 

Amateur Radio Newsline reports that Amateur Radio may be on its way out at 
the Vatican, new hams in Malaysia get High Frequency privileges and an ex-ham is 
arrested by the FBI. 

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