[nrv-hams] Fwd: [N3FJP_Software] Clubs & Individuals, Please Join School Club Roundup Too!

[Russ Abbey]

Actually Carter it is this week, not weekend.  School Club Roundup started
on Monday.  The local School Clubs will be on 146.580 simplex for contacts,
there are 3 in Roanoke, and one in Floyd.  Lets see if I can remember these
calls....William Bird Middle is K4WBM, William Bird HS is WB4HS, Hidden
Valley is N4HVH, and Floyd HS is N4FCH.  They will all be monitoring both
the 146.580 and also on 40 and above on HF all week or until they hit their
max hours.
