[TNham] 9/11 NET Tonight

[Bob N2BR]

ARRL President to Participate in Second N2LEN 9/11 Commemorative Net:
ARRL President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, will participate in the second N2LEN 9/11
Commemorative Net on September 11. Haynie said he will talk about the role
of Amateur Radio in homeland security and urge each amateur to develop
skills in emergency communications and to be prepared. The net will involve
linking repeaters across the US and around the world via the Internet.
Haynie addressed a first-anniversary hookup last year to thank all amateurs
who volunteered in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The
linkup relied on EchoLink and eQSO Internet software connections as well as
repeaters and simplex links around the world. Len Signoretti, N2LEN, says
improvements over the past year have made communication even easier and more
reliable, and he hopes the second-anniversary net will be an even greater
success. The main EchoLink net servers will open at 6 AM EDT on September
11, and the directed net will start at 7 PM EDT. All EchoLink, IRLP and eQSO
servers are invited to join. For more information, contact Signoretti
n2len@aol.com or visit the 911 Net Web site http://www.911net.org/.
