Many thanks to the folks that have provided their availability to be net
control!!  I can think of n3frq, wb2jqu, kw1i, kk1k, n3od and w1aea.  I'm
sure I missed a few.  Nice to have you guys willing to be available..   

But I don't want to leave out the folks that have been there for the net
control to have something to do!  
I've been lucky to have worked from home for the majority of the nets life,
and consistently hear many people fire up to say hello. You all have made it
worth while and I hope will continue to do so..  
>From Alex running radials out on the floor of a Farrie,
Breck out in the field or at home,
Jeff talking a walk in his back yard,
Dean on the hunt for Champ
Dale working remote getting lunch
The 400hz buzz of the PRC 47s from Pete, walt, Jeff, Dean, Lou and others
The ever present and sometimes pw mobile of warren and glenn,
Joe telling us about his next article
Rick trying out another radio
without this net, no one would see the bunch of Amish and Mennonite buggies
topped with antennas! 
Or learn about the care and feeding of a hoard of newfie's! 
The list goes on..  
Thanks for the fond memories! 

Happy Anniversary all! 
Steve, kd3ht

Hi Bob
K2DSR had a nice receiver on line  and I've been using it for "magnetic
loop"  signal strength  and bearing testing perhaps you could use it to
monitor the M & S net.
