  Good Morning,

   Below is the VHF email I still send out every week, just like 
I have for the last 3.5 years.  
   If you want this info more regularly, you can visit kc9bqa.com 
at any time.  I always update the website first.  Or you can send 
me your callsign and email address and I'll add you to an email 
list of my own.  
   At one time, I sent email to about 20 ham groups every week, 
in a wide area surrounding WI.  Now that I've condensed things, 
I save considerable time.  

    Here's our net lineup for tonight:  

    As mentioned first at kc9bqa.com, we have changes this 
week I want you to be aware of.  
   I call the 144.240 net tonight at 0100Z, not WB9LYH.  
Look toward me in EN63ao, which is 40 miles north of 
Milwaukee.  I start out looking north, then slowly turn the 
yagi clockwise over the next 60-90 minutes, calling CQ 
about every 20-30 degrees.   

   Tonight's 144.250 net will have a guest host.  K8GDT in 
EN91bf -- just a little SSW of Cleveland -- will pinch-hit for 
K8TQK, who has a bad rotor.  Look for Gerry in EN91 
at 0130Z, same time as usual.  K8GDT will also start out 
looking north, then rotate clockwise over the next hour or so.  

    Both us net controls will be in the active and popular 
ON4KST.com ham chat room, making real-time updates to 
anyone who cares to follow along.  Over 2700 USA and 
Canada VHF'ers have registered for this free, no B.S. service.  
If you have internet and a computer near your rigs, check it 
out and see if it's right for you.  The chat rooms are available 
anytime, and licensed hams are welcome to use them.  
    The 7 simple steps to get registered are here:

    Our Wed. nets are informal and open.  Listen along or say 
hello when it's convenient.  The purpose of the nets is to stir 
up more activity on 2m SSB.  Please help by letting hams 
know we are out here every Wed.  If you know of someone 
who wants to be added to an email list, I'll be happy to help.  

    More info is always available at kc9bqa.com.
