[PPRAANet] PPRAA Simplex Net

[Jim Harris]

The PPRAA Simplex Net is being revived.  The net will
meet on Thursday's at 7PM local time.  The frequency
is 146.58mhz and will use FM mode.  This is the date,
time and frequency of the previous net.  The first net
will be on June 17, 2004.  We invite everyone to drop
by the frequency and check into the net.  The net is
for all licensed amateur radio operators.  You do not
need to be a member of the PPRAA or any other group to
participate. Everyone is invited to participate.

We will have check-in's, announcements and articles
from the 0-Beat news letter, the ARRL and other
sources just to name a few.  The same source may not
be used every week.  We'll try to add quizes and other
lighter items to make it fun.  At this time we do not
anticipate handling traffic.  If you have other
subjects we would like covered please let us know.

Patrick Kelly, KC0MIR, and myself, Jim Harris, AB0UK,
are heading up this effort and will share the net
control duties.  Patrick has prior experience and I'm
just an interested person.

We would like to get others involved in net control
duties and use this as training for net controllers. 
This is a good way to get experience without having to
be responsible for a daily or weekly net.  If you have
an interest contact Patrick or myself.

An interest has been expressed about starting a 10
meter net.  This would provide better coverage on the
front range and always with the possibility of skip
coverage.  If there is an interest we will also
consider that as well.  Please voice your opinions.

Please give this the widest dissemination to any
individual or groups that might be interested.  Thank
you for your support.

73,

Jim,  AB0UK
