[NLRS] 144.240 Net ON Tonight 7pm + KC9BQA.com Updates

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   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.  
     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.  

   Start time is 7pm central and the antenna pattern from near 
WI Rapids (smack in the middle of WI) is to first look NE, 
then E, SE, S, SW, W, NW and N over the next hour or so.  
This means NLRS-land isn't targeted until 7:30 or later, 
depending on the number of check-ins.  
   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 

    I update kc9bqa.com at least a few times a week, please 
visit for the latest Midwest V/UHF info.
