[WIham] Weekly 2m SSB Long-Range Nets are ON Tonight

[Todd Sprinkmann]

      Good morning,
      Tonight's weather will be a factor.  Cold rain and wind in 
the northern regions, and severe t-storms in the southern.  
Sounds like a broken record, doesn't it?  

      Assuming the net controls can dodge the weather, here's 
our lineup:      
      WB9LYH is on 144.240, from EN54cl, right in the middle 
of WI.   Mark starts at 0100Z/8pm central/9pm eastern looking 
NE into the U.P. of MI and then goes clockwise over the next 
60-90 minutes.  
      K8TQK is on 144.250, from EM89je, south-central OH.   
Bob starts at 0030Z/8:30pm eastern looking north, then going 
clockwise.  
      KA0KYZ is on 144.230, from EN33qw, far SE MN.   
Terry starts at 0200z/9pm central looking east and goes 
clockwise from there.   

     The purpose of having several net controls on different freqs, 
times and states is to spread RF as far as possible.   All hams are 
welcome to listen along or say hello when they care to.   Please 
help us spread the word.   Some VHF'ers don't know where or 
when to find on-air activity.   That's why we publicize heavily.  
Emails like this one go out in roughly 15-20 different directions 
every week.  
     
    I know many VHF'ers couldn't care less about a net.   Know 
that we encourage our net check-ins and all other VHF'ers to 
spread out across the band and help create their own activity.    
Slide down to 144.220 and lower, spin your yagi and call CQ in 
various directions.   If enough VHF'ers did this at any old time, 
it would do wonders for the bands.
