Hello All

Please join the net tomorrow night, Monday at 8 PM CST on 432.105.

We begin looking south toward southern Indiana. Then we all rotate our antennas through east, 
north, west and end up looking toward Kansas. It can take an hour to complete so the stations
out west need to be patient. All the guys in the northern Illinois area participate listening for check ins.
We all have sharp antennas so give us a long call. Sometimes we hear a CW station call once and disappear.
Not everyone copies CW so give those who do time to find you.
We need to peak you With our antennas so please make the calls at least for 30 seconds or more. 

We have antennas and other equipment either free or nearly free for 432 SSB/CW but only if you “really” intend to use it and become active on 432 SSB/CW.
I have two 32 element collinear antennas for 432 which are free. I built them as an experiment. Compared to my 4 x 32 foot yagis they do a pretty good job.
Two of them stacked for a total of 64 elements is down about an S unit from my  160 element yagi array. They are very broad in azimuth.
Something like 45 degrees.
