[NLRS] WB9LYH 144.240 Long-Range Net ON Tonight -- 7pm

[Todd Sprinkmann]

  Please read thru to the important PS at the bottom...

   Friendly reminder to say hello to the 144.240 long-range 
net any old Wednesday.  WB9LYH EN54cl is our usual 
net control and when Mark can't go, either N9OLT or 
myself are able to pitch in.  For instance, I will take the 
net on April 10th, when WB9LYH is not available.  

     DX is encouraged to listen in.  WB9LYH has stacked 
17B2's and 500 W from a ridgetop location.  He makes 
400+ mile contacts with decent stations under flat conditions.  
Those of you in the Dakotas, outstate MN and VE3/4 are 
cordially invited.  If you aren't personally interested, please 
spread the word to those who might be.  
    **Please remember that NW is the last direction we 
call with this net.  Dakotas and MN and VE-land are 
not targeted until at least 7:40-7:50 and some nights 
maybe not until 8:00-8:15pm.**

      You can also follow the progress of the net by using the 
free and no B.S. ham chat at www.on4kst.com.  Many 
different rooms are available, the one we use is the IARU 
Region 2 Chat for 144-432 MHz.  By now, over 3600 
V/UHF'ers across the USA/VE use this chat -- it is available 
24/7.  Instructions to register:  http://kc9bqa.com/?p=1072 

   
    Next Spring Sprint is 222 MHz on Tue., Apr. 16th, from 
7-11pm.  
    Full sprint info is available here:  http://kc9bqa.com/?p=6885

    You are free to redistribute this info to any ham clubs or 
buddies that are VHF-curious.
