[WARC] 144.240 SSB net *ON* -- 7pm early start? Your feedback requested

[Todd Sprinkmann]

    It was an amazing VHF contest last weekend, in 
terms of creating new activity out of both the La Crosse 
area and the Milwaukee area.  

    Back to the weekly routine now, and we'll have a net 
tonight, starting at 7pm, if it will bring out the La Crosse 
guys/gals.  This also applies to the whole SW WI and far 
SE MN region.  The regular net where I look for everyone 
else will still start at 7:30pm.  

   If you're in La Crosse area, SW WI, W Cent WI or the 
Winona area, and you'd be available from 7-7:30 tonight, 
please let me know.  Regular email would be fine, or you 
can do it here.  Not sure how tolerant this list is of chit-chat.  

   Reason for the potential early start is that I just couldn't 
work enough of you in the contest, and I'm hoping that 
tonight, my beams turn freely and that propagation might 
be a little bit better.  If possible, I'd also enjoy having 
enough time to perhaps talk with each of you for a bit.  

   If I don't hear from anyone, I'll assume the regular 7:30 
start is better, and I'll look toward La Crosse about 7:45 or 
so, per usual.  

   I always pass this info along to the La Crosse group.  
I've also started notifying a group on Yahoo called 
MadisonAmateurRadio.  We'll see if we can keep getting 
new hams on VHF/UHF.  

   My ultimate goal is to have self-sufficient VHF/UHF 
pods or activity centers in various areas all across the 
compass.
