[NLRS] Contest Updates at kc9bqa.com + 144.240 Net ON Tonight @8pm

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Hello NLRS,

   I've made a number of updates to kc9bqa.com the past 
week.  The new updates start on June 7th, and they are all 
on the "front page".  Please take a few minutes to scroll 
thru the headlines and see what you can use to help get 
more VHF'ers on the air.  

   Want everyone to know that the 144.240 Wed. net 
(which essentially resurrected the old BC net) is in its 6th 
year of operation.  WB9LYH has been net control for 
several years now and his big signal from EN54cl, near 
WI Rapids really keeps 2m SSB lively on Wed. nights.  
All VHF'ers are welcome and it really perks up the net 
when we get a DX-type check-in from the Dakotas, 
outstate MN, or even VE3 or VE4-land.  

   Realize few contesters "do" nets but pass the word 
along anyway, as often times, newer guys to weak-signal 
VHF/UHF don't know where or when to find signals and 
they lose interest.  This is a correctable situation, and that's 
what I've been trying to do these past 6-7 years.  For those 
who have helped, thank you.  

  NLRS got some good publicity this morning at my blog.  
Check out the top post -- hope it helps and NLRS gets 
some new members.  

   Finally, if you haven't used the "signup sheet" that W0UC 
created a few weeks ago, for this weekend's VHF Contest, 
here's the link:  http://tinyurl.com/mojspza  

   Thanks, 73,
