[NLRS] 144.240 SSB net report from last night

[Todd Sprinkmann]

  We ended up with 11 check-ins last night.  Thanks to all who
came out and played.

   Also be aware that we're starting at 7:15pm from now on.  I like
this better, because it gives me a little more time with each check-in.

   Folks are using this link http://dxworld.com/vhfqso.html to help
keep track of what's going on during the net.  It's certainly not
mandatory, but at least I have a way of seeing who's out there,
and letting others know who I'm working, while the net is in
progress.  I will continue to post info at dxworld.com/vhfqso.

   Our check-ins last night were:
   N0IRS         JD          EM29         S1
   KC9CSQ    Larry      EN42          S1
   W9RPM      John       EN43          S5-7 on peaks
   W9HQ        David      EN43         S1-2
   KC9JTL      Christopher -- David's son
   W9GM       Ken        EN43          S1-2
   I think Ken was new, and good to hear another one on
from La Crosse.  If every grid square had an activity center
like EN43 does, VHF would be in way better shape.  Think
about what *YOU* can do to help create a La Crosse-type
burst of new activity in your own area.  There's no better time
to get started than early spring.  (Ignore today's weather, hihi)
    KC9ECI    Tom        EN43          S1
    KB9KTD   David     EN43          S0
    KC0LXB   Charles   EN34          S1
    K0SIX       Vince      EN35          S1
    KC0KVD   John       EN37          S0

    Conditions were flat last night, yet KC0KVD's checking in
was a highlight.  Especially since after brief initial contact, we
disappeared from each other.  I had a little extra time to devote
to EN37 from about 8:05-8:15, and called that way at least a
dozen times after our initial burst.  Nothing.  So that was good
timing for John and myself.

     Looking forward to plenty more enjoyable nets as we head
into spring and summer.  Please keep spreading the word to hams
you think may be interested.

    As always, any comments or questions, just email.
