[NLRS] nlrs nets - response

[Aaron Sloan]

Good evening Gents.  I have the ball on the new web page but it has been hard to
squeeze in time this summer.  I don't have the keys to update the old web page so
it is just a wait until I get my time better organized.  I plan on doing the web
page in Google Docs/Sites which allows amazingly easy collaboration which I think
this club would enjoy.
There's the beans. Just need to cook'em.

Matt, I'd check into the net but I don't have any antennas up right now.  Maybe
next summer.

73,
Aaron ka0zoz en23

>I realise that it is not allways posible to check in to every net.
>I know i can't usually check in to the 222 net because of local nets in my

>Also today i was looking at the nlrs web site and notice that Lenny k0shf is

>Lenny hasn't ran the 432 net in several years.
>Also the 6 meter net listing does not even list a net control.

>Why is he not listed as it's regular net control?
>I am not planning on dropping the two meter net but would like to hear some

>I don't think this is what we want.
>Now lets get on the stick boys and get things going.
>I can remember several years a go we had alot of activity on the bands and
