[NLRS] 144.240 net *ON* + contest writeup

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Good evening,

    I updated the website yesterday, so if you want to read my 
contest account, it's up at http://www.kc9bqa.com  

    Also, the 144.240 and 144.250 nets are *ON* tomorrow night.  
Listen along or check in when you are able.  These are informal 
nets designed to promote activity on 2 meter SSB.  

    The 144.240 net starts at 7:15pm, with me looking SSW.  I 
slowly edge the beams clockwise from there, saying hello to 
check-ins along the way.  I stop when I get to north/northeast.  
The target region on the 144.240 net is outstate WI and ILL, as 
well as all of IA/MO/MN/U.P. of MI   I do not look NE, E or SE 
with the 144.240 net.  

     I do try to update to http://dxworld.com/vhfqso.html during 
the 144.240 net, to encourage others to be aware of who all is 
on.  I also encourage net check-ins to QSY down and look around 
to work other stations directly.  Far better to have several QSO's on 
different freqs., than to have everyone hanging the whole time on 
144.240.  

     The 144.250 Badger Contesters net starts at 8:30pm and 
primarily has check-ins from MKE/CHI areas, but I do look a full 
360, going clockwise from a south starting point.  

     Everyone is welcome to listen along or say hello.
