  Beautiful weather tonight, so looking forward to the nets.  
I'd think prop will be greatly improved from this weekend.  

  Wednesday night is SSB night, horizontal polarization.

   At 8:00pm, I call CQ only to my west thru north on 144.240, 
toward W and N WI, as well as adjacent portions of IA, MN 
and the U.P. of MI.  The purpose is to stir up activity.  

   At 8:30pm, I QSY to 144.250 and call the Badger 
Contesters net.  Start out looking south, take quick check-ins, 
then swing beams a full 360, going SW, W, NW, etc.  Look 
for check-ins in all directions.  Usually get back to south 
about 8:45-8:50 and then we run the list, giving everyone a 
chance to say hello to the net.  

   Tonight we could talk about the rain-soaked contest last 
weekend, or we can look forward to better days with the 
SEVHFS fall sprints coming up.  
  
   The first sprint is for 2 meters, on Monday, Sept. 22nd, 
from 7-11pm.  These get good participation in the Upper 
Midwest.  I know I will be on.  Also trying to encourage more 
FM activity, and build on the momentum from last weekend.  

   Will you help?  Consider going on a local rove.  Ask your 
friends to get on SSB and/or FM.  There's a provision in the 
rules for encouraging a newcomer to observe your operations.  

    Here's the link to the sprint rules:
