    I'll just copy and paste what I've posted on kc9bqa.com:

   Unless we have some last minute lightning, I'm *ON* with
the 146.430 FM Simplex net tonight at 8pm.   All are welcome;
the purpose is to stir up more activity on less-used portions of 2m.
I'm located 40 miles north of Milwaukee.  I'm omni-only on FM,
with 150w and a vertical up 90'.
     Dave WV9E is not available tonight for his 146.460 FM net
out of Onalaska (north side of La Crosse) at 8:30pm.    He's
already put the word out in his area, but in case someone reading
this doesn't know, Dave would appreciate anyone else making a
few calls on 146.460 at 8:30pm.   I know Dave, and I know he's
not worried about the specific format - it's way more about
creating activity.   Hope someone pitches in and starts something.

     In fact, I know both of us would enjoy more FM simplex
activity  in other parts of WI.    Having more FM activity on
Thursdays from NW, Central or NE WI would be a huge boost.
A benefit from this would be that once we start having warm
summer evenings with bettter band conditions, you'll have nights
where you can hear those guys 50, 70 or 100 miles away.
     If you have a decent FM station (good QTH, high vertical
antenna or better yet a vertical beam), think about helping.
I would be happy to help you learn more - no obligation.
 Contact me and we can brainstorm.
     Spread this info to different clubs, or guys you know have
strong 2m stations.
