Tomorrow night (and every Wednesday) there is widespread
activity on 2m SSB, from multiple states. Get on the air and make
the most of it. Even if a net doesn't interest you, know that we
always encourage check-ins to slide down to 144.220 and lower
and look around, to help create even more activity.
If you want specific details, all the net controls, frequencies and
times are available here: http://kc9bqa.com/?p=4688

For nearly 3 years now, I've been sharing this kind of info with
ham email lists. Promoting weak-signal VHF/UHF in a friendly
and consistent manner does pay off over time. Do what you can
to encourage hams to give V/UHF a try. For those who already
are helping, give yourself a pat on the back.

PS: One more link I want to refer you to... KA1ZE in FN01xt
continues to make the airwaves come alive, every single morning,
on 144.205, at 1200Z. Some mornings as many as 50 hams are
on, making contacts with each other from many states and grids.
This is easily now the #1 weak-signal activity in the Eastern USA.
There will be many mornings this summer and fall where Midwest
stations will be able to get in on the action. You can also monitor
much of the action using the ON4KST.com real-time chat page.
Choose the IARU Region 2 Chat for 144-432 MHz.
Click here http://kc9bqa.com/?p=4582 for a description of the
morning activity from KA1ZE himself. He has an email list that
will motivate anyone who cares about more signals on the bands.
Sign up for that email list and see every day how many hams still
care about weak-signal VHF/UHF.
