Ham radio net

[clint]

Nope, not the grub grabbers. A new net will be started next Thursday evening at 19:00 This will be a simplex a net. So it will be heard mainly within Wrightwood. It's a chance to make sure your radios are working once a week. We may even have some ARRL news to read. We will start the net on 2 meters and will alternate weeks with 2 meters one week and 220 the next.  So be listening at 19:00 local on June 2nd. at 147.57 with CTCSS of 100.0 even though there won't  be many of us at first, it will be a directed net. Tune in to see how that works.

I'm glad we won't be forced into blue hair dye 

[Chesslike]

Okay when you guys sign off with 73, do you mean:

1. My love to you

2. Vague sign of fraternalism

3. Accept my compliments

4. Best regards

5. A friendly word between operators

Also, Clint when is that next class starting up?

[Wrightwood]

73,
Best regards

[clint]

As long as none of the guys wish you 88's you're OK Bob.

I needed a little braether from activities. I have to confer with Wayne on starting the next class. And I'll keep you all posted here as to progress or lack of.

Thanks Susan, I was just about to tell Clint that I would bite on what the meaning of that was. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

[clint]

Ah...always good to find one more Seinfeld fan. Not that there's anything wrong with that either.

Here's to shrinkage and close talkers and yada yada.

I won't be able to make this first net, since I'll be in Wichita KS all week, returning on Friday afternoon.

I'm usually monitoring the TMO repeater to/from work, which is about 0530-0645 weekday mornings, and anywhere from 1700-1900 weekday early evenings (depending on my work schedule)

Have a great net folks, and I'll catch up with you all, when I return!

Peace and 73's

I think the net is a good idea--good chance to get our feet wet (ter). I'm trying to make arrangements to be available for the first round.

[clint]

I thought Thursdays were usually good for you Susan. That's why I picked that night.

[artology]

99.9% of the time they are...have some ArtTour stuff going on. Actually--lots of ArtTour stuff going on right now. I have to change hats and jump from WAD right to ArtTour around this time of year.

[SNOW]

I wonder if I will be able to make the trip from my home QTH? Guess I will have the speak loudly, ha.
Seriously, I plan to take a drive up the hill on Thursday to be a part of the fun.

[artology]

I called in a favor and will be available that evening.

Here are the answers to tonights net question.

BNC

SMA

N

Thanks Sensei for a well run net--great job! I vaguely remember PL-259, but that's about it.

Does KG6ZEV win a prize for his answer? Maybe you should pose the question the week before to give us a chance to research the answers. Kind of like homework.

As far as prizes, could you arrange for me to get a day off (paid) from work? Now that's motivation.

I was going to offer an official Steller's Jay egg shell but we discovered today that the birds eat the shells so he'll need to talk to them about his prize.

Good job Clint - It sounded so official I was afraid to say much as I thought the FCC might be listening.

Jack's notes are correct.

I'm monitoring at the moment.  Interesting stuff.
