[ILHam] North Shore net only on two meters this week

[MFGardner at aol.com]

The North Shore Radio Club net Thursday, May 18, at 8:00 p.m. CDT invites all 
amateurs to check in on 147.345 MHz, +600 KHz, PL 107.2 Hz.

In addition to local traffic, the net will include local hamfest and American 
Radio Relay League (ARRL) news, the RAIN Report and Amateur Radio 
Newsline.The theme for the 2006 Dayton Hamvention is "Amateur Radio Is Public Service". 
In the conclusion of Hap's interview with General Chair Jim Nies, he first 
talks about the lodging challenges facing everybody at this late date. Also, Mark 
Thompson, WB9QZB, is back after an extended absence (his choice) with one of 
his Bites From QZB editorials. It has an ironic ring to it. His views don't 
necessarily reflect those of this station nor folks connected with RAIN. Its 
title? "The Death of Ham Radio is Not the Internet ... It is Obesity".

Amateur Radio Newsline reports a telecommunications industry leader calls for 
more rescue radio bandspace, a drill is scheduled to test a tsunami warning 
system and the BPL drama heats up in South Africa. 

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.

Marilyn Tschannen Gardner, W9LUO
