The North Shore Radio Club will link its Winnetka repeaters October 6 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.). However, please 
check 2-meters if you don't hear us on UHF. 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 for this week is "Make Your Club Programs 
Something Special." If you are looking for ideas on how you can provide quality, 
interactive  programs for your repeater or radio club meetings, this week's 2000 
RAIN Rerun of an interview with Chicagoan Art Housholder, K9TRG, is a must 
listen.

Amateur Radio Newsline reports Hurricane Rita hits Texas and Louisiana and 
ham radio is ready. Also, the B-P-L battle heats up down-under and the third ham 
head space tourist heads to the I-S-S.

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.
