            Hello to all,
            
                   If it seems that it was just yesterday that you            received a reminder e-mail about RACES/ACS night you might            not be too far off the mark. With the combination of the            Labor Day holiday and September being one of the shorter            months on the books, it frequently becomes a short hop            between Comm Nights. I am writing to remind everyone that            this Monday evening, October 3rd is once            again the first non-holiday Monday of the month.
            
                  Thanks again to all who checked into Last month's nets            . We have been consistently seeing about 25-30 checkins            across the 4 nets for the last few months and I am hoping we            can continue to put up those numbers! 
            
            A few operators have asked for copies of the Net Preamble            and check in sheets. Those will be getting sent out either            this evening or tommorrow morning. If you asked for one and            haven't received it by tommorrow afternoon, please reach out            and let me know. 
            
                  For the Region 2 operators and Net Control team            members, I would            like to know who may be available to assist from the Region            2 bunker or            who may be able to assist as a NCO from home. Any operators            who would like to take a net, please respond and let me            know if and how you might be participating. While we do try            to keep a log at Region 2 Headquarters, it would be very            helpful for Net Control Stations to please e-mail their net            reports to me at WC1MAB at gmail.com in the days following the            nets.
            
                  As always, if anyone has been interested in            participating as Net Control Stations, the call for            operators is an open one. This is a great skill to practice            and can be a big help for our region in the            event that the State EOC is operating in lieu of the Region            Office, but            communications still need to happen. If any local RACES            operators who            have participated in nets recently are interested in acting            as NCO            please let me know and we will see how we can get you into            the fray.            As always, if anyone is receiving this note and does not            wish to            receive further messages of this kind, please reply and let            me know.            Also, if you know someone who would benefit from being on            this list,            please have them contact me at WC1MAB at gmail.com and I will            add them to            this distribution. Thank you all!
            
                  If anyone has any questions or comments I can be            reached by e-mail or            cell phone. Thanks for being a part of our team and I look            forward to            hearing back on who can participate this month.
            
            Sincerely,
