[NLRS] 144.240 SSB net report -- 10 (!) check-ins

[Todd Sprinkmann]

 Good evening,

   I directly logged 10 check-ins tonight from 7:45 until
about 8:10pm.  I also heard from WB9LYH in EN54 that
he swung NW and found both KB0CIM and K0AWU in
EN37.   Very glad to hear they got in on the fun.  :)

  The check-ins I personally had were:
  WB0MCO - Dave EN40 Burlington, IA          S5 avg.
  K9AKS - Curt EN41 Moline, IL                     S4
  W0WDX - Brad EN42 Dodgeville, WI           S1-4
  KC0HLN - Jerry EN42 Waterloo, IA             S3
  W9RPM - John EN43 LaCrosse, WI              S5
  K0KFC - Jim EN35 St. Croix Falls, WI          S0-2
  N0VZJ - Vince EN35 Big Bear Lake, MN      S0-1
  WB9LYH - Mark EN54 Rudolph, WI            S9
  And two new check-ins from NE WI, where we can
always use more activity...
   N9ZF - Marc EN54, (far NE part of EN54)   S9+
Marc has an M2 18XXX beam and is very loud. 
   N9BXX - Al EN54, near Shawano, WI          S5-7
Al has a very effective 15 el homebrew up 45'.  He said
he built it per the instructions in the ARRL handbook.

   After about 8:10, I had swung my beams the full extent
of my SSW thru N.  I then tried to come back to the
check-ins and let them know who all had checked in, so
they could attempt to work whoever they cared to.

   I hope there was activity for all after 8:25-8:30.  I
QSY'ed to 144.250 to start the Badger Contesters net.

   Any questions or comments, email anytime.

   Thanks to all who checked in.
   73,

   PS:  I did have some new pulsing QRN, especially to my
SW-W.  It was S3-5 at times, and I hope it didn't cover
anyone up.  If I missed you, I hope we can work another time.
