Tonight is the 432 Fall Sprint from 7-11pm. I hope to work
all of you who care enough to get on.
If you concentrate on 144, then know that WB9LYH is
calling TWO nets tonight from EN54cl.
As usual, he's taking the 144.240 net from 0015-0130Z.
He starts out looking south toward IL and MO at 0015, and
then slowly edges clockwise with 500 watts and stacked 17B2's.
Still waiting for our first Dakotas, Nebraska or Kansas
check-ins to Mark. EN36/37, plus VE-land and the U.P. of
MI is within range, too.
WB9LYH is also taking the 144.250 Badger Contesters net
tonight. That net starts at 0130Z with him looking south, then
swinging the beams clockwise.
So you have lots of radio opportunities tonight.
I want you to consider using this computer chat for VHF/UHF
activity. Several of us have been using it the past two weeks,
with no problems at all. It's a simple process to sign up. The 7
steps are at my website. http://kc9bqa.com/?p=1072
If dozens of us get on board with this chat, you will be better
able to follow the action during the nets and band openings.
This is the same chat that hundreds of USA and VE 6m DX'ers
have been enjoying for years now.
I will be there tonight in the chat, sharing what I'm hearing out
from WB9LYH with the nets. You can also use helpers in the
sprints, so I'll talk about how I'm doing on 432. It should be fun,
and I hope you'll join in.
73,
