[WIham] 146.430 FM simplex net 8pm tonight

[Todd Sprinkmann]

    Good morning,

    KC9BQA here in Sheboygan county.   I'm on with the 
146.430 simplex net, starting at 8pm tonight.   I call for 
SE WI check-ins by counties, then I open it up to "anyone, 
anywhere"   If you're DX, that's your clue to give it a try.  

    If there are VHF'ers in other parts of WI who would like 
to give it a try, please email me.   I now have a 10 el vertical 
beam up 75' for 146/147 MHz.   I heard Wausau repeaters 
lightly last night with the beam and flat band conditions, over 
a 125 mile path.       

    Because of this program -- www.wivuch.com -- many are  
looking to make more SSB and FM simplex contacts on 
bands like 6m, 2m, 1.25m (220MHz) and 70cm from all 
parts of WI.   

    There are still many V/UHF'ers out there, but we are 
spread out and often lose interest due to quiet bands.   This 
is a correctable condition.   Even if you are not a V/UHF'er, 
please consider passing the word to those who might have an 
interest.    
    Visit kc9bqa.com for the latest V/UHF updates.   We host 
very active SSB nets on 144.240 MHz on Wed. nights, and 
over 20 hams from multiple states were on board last night.   
The details, as always, are up on the website.  

    73,
