Our 2 meter net meeting EVERY Wednesday at 8:00 PM (local time) on the clubs repeater system network. These are good training ground for possible emergency situations, as well as helping the new hams in the area to have an easy way to get use to “talking on the radio”.

If you have an interest in joining the Net Control stations please call me (432/837-2257) or holler at me during the Wednesday evening net (either before or after the net).

The month of July had four (4) Wednesdays in it and it went this way:

DATE CHECK-INS NET CONTROL STATION
JULY 6       11                W5RHN
JULY 13      17               N5BBJ – fill-in for KF5KMA
JULY 20     17               KA5PVB
JULY 27     15               KG5BMK

I realize that summers are busy for everyone BUT if you don’t have the time to check-in to the net and stick around for the round-table discussion, take a minute of your time and check-in as an “in-and-out” where you’re there for the head count but don’t have the time to participate. All participation is much appreciated and encouraged.

73’s and hope to talk to you soon.

* these two (2) members were FIRST TIMER’S as Net Control Stations on the net and both did a very good job (Kathy – KG5CGR was logging for Chuck – KG5BMK during his initial attempt, and Bruce – N5BBJ was sitting along-side of Marvin – KG5LMG to assist him with his initial attempt.
Many thanks to both Kathy and Bruce for their assistance in making the first attempt as easy as possible!!!

Hope everyone has a very safe and sane 4th of July.
