1. SEVERAL DAYS AGO SOME OF OUR SCHEDULED NETS
FAILED TO TAKE PLACE DUE TO THE NON EXISTENCE
OF PROPAGATION ON THE PRIMARY AND ALL OF THE
ALTERNATE FREQUENCIES. THERE HAS BEEN SOME
DISCUSSION ON OUR NETS AS TO WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES
ARE SHOULD THIS OCCUR DURING AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY.
2. ONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES IS THE USE OF VHF FREQUENCIES,
SUCH AS ARMY MARS SIMPLEX FREQUENCIES AND NAVY
MARS REPEATERS. I REQUEST THAT MEMBERS ARRANGE
SCHEDULES TO RUN TEST WITH STATIONS THEY MAY BE
ABLE TO WORK SIMPLEX. I ALSO WOULD LIKE STATIONS
TO RUN SOME TESTS ON THE FOLLOWING NMCM 
REPEATERS AND PACKET BBS:
PORTLAND  148.375 +.600, PL 127.3
MT. ASHLAND  148.375 +.600, PL 203.5
ELK MTN  148.375 +.600, PL 127.3 (NR GRANTS PASS)
PORTLAND PACKET BBS (NN0MDX) 149.225
3. LET ME KNOW THE RESULTS , VIA E-MAIL, ONCE 
YOU COMPLETE THESE TESTS.
