[NLRS] VHF'ers Wanted for 144.240 Long-Range Net Tonight -- 7pm

[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.  

    Last week, there were 26 check-ins from a multi-state 
area.  As always, I typed up a net report, which is available 
here:  http://kc9bqa.com/?p=6880

     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.  

      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 

    Following the net via that chat page will be especially 
useful as we make adjustments to our timetable.  For places 
like NW WI, MN, and the Eastern Dakotas, you won't have 
WB9LYH pointed at you until at least 7:45-8pm every Wed.  
Read today's net announcement http://kc9bqa.com/?p=6894 
and you'll understand why.  

   
    The Spring VHF/UHF Sprints start Apr. 1st, from 7-11pm, 
with the 2m band.  Full sprint info is available here:

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