[NLRS] 144.240 SSB net report

[Todd Sprinkmann]

We had 4 participants tonight in the SW thru N net.

  They were:
  KC0HLN -- Jerry EN32 Waterloo, IA         S3-5
  KA0PQW -- Matt EN33 Ellendale, MN      S3-7
  K0KFC -- Jim EN35 St. Croix Falls, WI     S1-3
  WB9LYH -- Mark EN54 Rudolph, WI        S9

   Also, K0KFC relayed two stations from EN37, 
KC0TVD and KB0CIM.  I did have very light copy on 
at least one of those two, but not enough to make a QSO.  
Thanks to anyone who turned EN37-way and included them.  

   I did have enough time to make 2 passes thru the entire 
target area (which again is W IL, MO, IA, MN and the U.P. 
of MI) with the beams.  

   This is a work in progress -- look forward to stirring up 
more activity on 144.240 on future Wednesdays.  

   Everyone please keep in mind that even if you can't work 
me directly, take advantage of the activity and work who 
you can.  This activity isn't about me; it's about you -- the 
stations who get on and participate.  

   I start at 7:45, by looking SSW toward W IL and MO.  
I then swing the beams more toward the SW, then W, 
then NW, stopping about every 10-15 degrees and calling 
CQ, announcing where I'm looking.  I am 40 miles  N of 
Milwaukee.
