[NLRS] 144.240 SSB net *ON* tonight -- 7:15 new start

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   I'm going to stick to a 7:15 start so we can have a more 
relaxed pace.  With increasing numbers of check-ins, I want 
enough time to make sure I find everyone who is trying.

   (A 7:15 start means that I probably will be prone to 
looking toward NLRS and CVVHF-lands after 7:30-7:45.  
If you hear me chattering away with La Crosse and Winona, 
you know I'm getting closer)

    At 7:15pm, I will start out looking to my SSW, toward 
Rockford, Peoria and St. Louis areas.  I will slowly edge 
my beams clockwise, calling "CQ Activity Net" frequently.  
I will stop when I'm looking due north, toward NE WI, 
and the U.P. of MI.  The exclusion of the Milwaukee/Chicago 
areas is deliberate -- they are welcome to check into the 
144.250 net at 8:30pm on Wed's.  

    We should keep using the following website to keep 
track of who's checked in and who's trying:  
http://dxworld.com/vhfqso.html
     You can "raise your hand" here, and also keep track of 
who all's on board, so you can target stations to talk with 
after the net is done.  
     
     If you can think of anyone else who would enjoy knowing 
about this net, please put them in touch with me, and I'll add 
them to the email list.  Feel absolutely free to spread the word 
to other 2 meter hams.  

     Our sole purpose is to encourage activity on lesser-used 
portions of 2 meters.  

     As always, any questions or comments, just email.
