[NLRS] 144.240 and 144.250 net reports

[Todd Sprinkmann]

 Good nets tonight -- Prop was especially good to the
south and southeast, so the 144.250 net prospered.

   144.240 net check-ins were:
   KC9IGB -- Butch  EN54  Chilton, WI                    5x9
*Butch just got on 2m SSB and was happy
to hear his M2 omni-loop was getting out*
   K9BZ --  Brad  EN45  near Rice Lake, WI          5x9
   KC9FQD -- Dave EN54  Stevens Point, WI       5x9
   N0PB -- Phil  EM39  Holliday, MO                       5x7

   We did look hard at the EN37 area; even had time to
have KC9FQD look that way at 8:20-25, but we couldn't
raise anyone.    Next time...


    144.250 net check-ins were:
    AK9F -- Howard  EN61  Kankakee, IL               5x5
    N9WU -- Rick  EN53  Germantown, WI              5x5
    NT9E --  Dave  EN52  McHenry, IL                10 over S9
    W9RN -- Noll  EN52  Franklin, WI                      20 
over
    WB9MXX -- Nick EN62  Pleasant Prairie, WI  20 over
    N9NDP -- Harvey EN62  Kenosha                     40 over
*Nick and Harvey were as loud as I've ever heard them*
    W9THB -- Tom EN61 Crown Point, IN                5x9
*Tom was a new check-in on a vertical @ 20'.  He could
hear most every check-in, that's how good prop was*
    N0PB -- Phil EM39  Holliday, MO                        5x9
*Net fans be aware of Phil's net every Monday night on
144.250.  He looks east about 8:30-45, and he has a
great station, and a very popular net*
    KC9IGB -- Butch EN54 Chilton, WI                      5x7
    WB9LYH -- Mark EN54 Rudolph, WI                   5x9
    WA9FWT -- Phil  EN63 Sheboygan, WI          30 over
    KC8ZJL -- Dennis EN71  NW Ohio                     5x9
*Dennis is using a 5 el quad and gets out great*
    W9SUS -- Leroy EN61  Chicago - big signal  40 over
    K9IJ -- John EN52  Lake Zurich, IL 
5x7
    W9GA -- Ken EN53  Colgate, WI                      40 over

    Most check-ins remarked that they could hear most
of the other stations.  Made for a very pleasant net and
great participation.  If we could have an evening like
this for a contest, it would be a blast.

    See you next Wednesday -- it will be time to discuss
contest plans for Sept. 13th-14th.  Here's the link to the
