[NLRS] EN63 (yes, EN63) and EM89 Long-Range Nets ON Tonight

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Sharp-eyed readers will notice the "EN63" in the subject 
line.  Yes, ol' KC9BQA will be calling the 144.240 net this 
Wednesday and next, while WB9LYH in EN54 takes a little 
holiday break.  

   I'm located in EN63ao, 40 miles north of Milwaukee.  I 
get on 144.240 at the same time as 'LYH -- 7pm central/
8pm eastern.  I start out with a quick look to my north, then 
go clockwise a full 360 over the next hour and a half.  

   K8TQK calls his 144.250 net from EM89je, south-central 
OH, starting at 8:30pm eastern.  Bob also starts out looking 
north, then swings clockwise (E, S then W and NW last) over 
the next 45-60 minutes.  

   The nets are informal; the only purpose is to make 2m SSB 
more active.  All check-ins, local and DX, are appreciated.   
I know many of you have helped spread the word and you 
have our thanks.  

    Nets don't interest you?   Help out 2m SSB activity by 
grabbing the mic and calling CQ.  We're always encouraging 
all VHF'ers to make the bands more active.  We need more 
CQ'ers and less ops who are "just listening".  

   More details are always available at kc9bqa.com.
