[InHam] Re: [SMC] 2M SSB SMC Net?

Fri Sep 19 06:25:07 EDT 2008

Monday, during the 2m sprint might be a good idea.  The participants 
could exchange grids and work the sprint at the same time.  Also, it 
keeps to the "old" tradition of activity nights, running 2 meters on 
Monday.    [222/Tuesday, 432/Wednesday, etc..., as I recall]

I'm not prepared to join you, yet, but am working on it.  I still need 
to get a tower and antennas put up here at home.

Just a thought,
