[NLRS] 144.240 and 144.250 nets ON tonight, Wed. Sep. 3rd

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Hello,

   While eastern WI sure could use those rainy remnants of 
Gustav, they won't get here tonight.  So the nets are ON.

   144.240 starts at 8:00, and I only look west thru north, 
from my QTH, EN63ao.  The purpose of this is to stir up 
activity in W and N WI, as well as adjacent portions of 
IA, MN and the U.P. of MI.  

   At 8:30, I QSY to 144.250 and look south to start the 
Badger Contesters net.  After taking the initial batch of 
check-ins, I then swing the beams a full 360, looking SW, 
then W, NW, N, etc.  I typically get back to south about 
8:45-8:50 and then we start the net.  

    BIG Reminder -- ARRL Sept. VHF QSO party is only 
10 days away.  Starts 1pm central on Sat., Sept. 13th and 
runs thru 10pm on Sun., Sept. 14th.  Here's the rules:

    I'm going to be hitting this one hard, and I hope everyone 
else will be too.  It really does motivate people to get on, if 
others start sharing their contest plans.  

    Any rovers heading out??   Last September had *great* 
rover activity, all across the Upper Midwest.  

    These are contest lists that I post to.  So let's talk about 
the upcoming contest.  :)  

    Also, there's more contesting to enjoy later in Sept. and 
October.  The SEVHFS fall sprints.  The first one is on 144, 
on Sept. 22nd, from 7-11pm.  I'll post more info about 
those soon.
