[ILHam] Winnetka Repeaters link for Thursday net 8:00 p.m. CDT

[MFGardner at aol.com]

The North Shore Radio Club will link its Winnetka repeaters September 29 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 "Principia hams Assist in Katrina 
Aftermath."  In the St. Louis, Missouri Suburb of Ballwin Rick Dearborn, 
N9IH, produces technology programming for commercial radio. On September 15 Rick 
Dearborn, N9IH, and a group of student, faculty and alumni hams affiliated with 
nearby Principia Upper School and Principia College motored from the St. 
Louis suburb of Ballwin to Hancock County, Mississippi, to participate in the ham 
radio relief effort in Katrina's aftermath. Rick made some fascinating 
discoveries that you'll want to know about if you're planning to physically take part 
in ham radio relief efforts in the wake of natural disasters like hurricanes 
Katrina and Rita. Hap Holly, KC9RP, RAIN Founder/Producer caught up with Rick 
on September 21--two days following his return from the beleaguered gulf 
coast.

Amateur Radio Newsline reports that as the hurricanes continue so does ham 
radio's response.  Also, another ham sat is ready to  launch and the N-T-S-B 
says no to new drivers operating mobile.

All licensed amateurs are welcome to check in. Check-ins are taken by net
control Marilyn, W9LUO, at the beginning of the net, between RAIN and 
Newsline,
and after Newsline.
