[NLRS] 144 SSB net info up at website

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Good morning,

    Finally good weather for a net tonight.  Hope lots of you come 
out and play radio.  I've got full details about the net up at 
http://www.kc9bqa.com.   

    Tonight's net control will be KC9KPV Randy.  He's located 
just about 15 miles NW of Milwaukee, and his station gets out 
pretty well.  Back in March or April, he worked KB9WLM in 
EN40, N0PB in EM39 and W0FAY in EN42 on the same night.  
Since Randy's sort of newer to 144 SSB, he was pretty thrilled to 
find out what's possible.  

    Randy's one of the best examples of the several dozen new 
guys that have tried some SSB or FM simplex work up here in 
S WI since I got busy promoting things last summer/fall.  

    He's improved antennas and skills, and he's really into the 
whole VHF thing now.  Besides that, he actually thinks it's like 
an honor or something to host a net!  He told me months ago, 
"Todd, if you ever want to take a night off, I'd be really happy 
to host a net.  I'm sure you get lots of people asking you all the 
time."    

     I had a good laugh over that one.  If Randy knew how hard 
it is to get Joe Q. VHF'er to commit to *showing up* for a net, 
much less running one... 
     Anyway, Randy's been a total plus for our VHF community, 
and I hope some of you connect with him tonight.  
 

     Please stay in touch with the website, if you care to.  
     5-10 minutes a few times a week will give you everything 
you're used to, plus more than I can say in regular old emails.  

     73,
