[WIham] VHF Nets and Updates -- including a TIME CHANGE

[Todd Sprinkmann]

    Heads-up for a change you'll want to remember. 
Starting this Wed., March 2nd, KA0KYZ in EN33, Southeast 
MN will now be calling his 144.230 SSB net starting at 9:00pm 
central/10pm eastern time. This is a permanent change, so 
please help spread the word to anyone who needs to know. 

   *NOTHING CHANGES WITH THE 144.240 SSB NET* 
This week, it's WB9LYH in EN54cl (middle of WI) on 
144.240, starting at 8pm central/9pm eastern, looking 
northeast to start and then going clockwise over the next 
60-90 minutes from there. 
   
   Everyone is welcome to listen along or say hello to either 
net.  There's no competition and our purpose is to create more 
activity on less-used portions of 2 meters.  

   I made a half dozen updates to kc9bqa.com yesterday. 
If you want more detail about our Wed. nets, or about 
222 Tuesday tonight, visit the website and you'll be caught up. 
There's also info about the WI QSO Party, which is March 13th.  

   If you don't know about an exciting net called on 144.205 
every morning at 8am eastern, then visit kc9bqa.com. Even 
though this net is based in FN10xt, I guarantee there will be 
some mornings with enhancement where you'll wish you were 
in on the fun. The net control (KA1ZE/3) has an exceptional 
station and he is actively seeking stations in tropo range to 
test out propagation. 

   After 2 1/2 years of running these nets and sending out email, 
we're still running into new signals on the band every week. 
That's most encouraging. Let's all do what we can to keep the 
momentum going. Talk up VHF, and steer guys to where the 
activity is taking place. 

   Thanks, 73,
