I know that it is against all netiquette, but I am forwarding a post from another group, and posting to more than one group!  Oh NO!  I’m not sure, but I think they cancel each other out.  Anyway, ya’ll might be interested in participating in this snowfall net.

 

Charlie, KB8SFR


Subject: Snow Fall Net Friday Dec 4th 1900 please read
Importance: High

 

All:

 

As Kent Counties usual policy any time we have a winter storm warning issued or a significant snow fall event we try to run a snow fall net at 1900 the day of or the day after.   

 

We will be hosting this net on the Lowell repeater 145.27/r 94.8  and we will also attempt to link the White Cloud Repeater 145.450/r 94.8 as well as an experiment.   If for some reason the link is not able to be made then please just go direct into the Lowell repeater if at all possible.  

 

We are inviting all counties that would like to participate to pass this on to your members.  We will pass the info on to the NWS after the net.

 

If you have a question about what to report or how to report it please email Chuck Putney Kent County Sky warn coordinator @ kc8reh@...

 

Note: To any Kent County NCS capable members Chuck could use some assistance in logging during the net.  Please email Chuck to let him know if you can assist him and log the net in the Kent County NetControl chat room.

 

Thank You all

I mentioned yesterday that Al had passed away.  I found a picture of Al with the Lost Team.
He is wearing a black jacket with green sweater or shirt and is standing behind KA8AOB.

WB9LYH has a power supply problem tonight, so I'm taking both nets.   Hope
to hear a few of you say hello.

     I'm on 144.240 at 8pm your time, looking ENE into N Lower MI.   I then swing
beams clockwise, calling CQ frequently.   I'm probably past MI/IN and pointing
at ILL/MO by about 8:20-40pm.

     I also call a 2nd net on 144.250 at 9:30pm your time.   With that one, I
tend not to look into MI until at least 10:15-10:30pm.   So for most folks the
earlier net is your better option.

     Even if you don't work net control, be aware that many guys are on, and we
encourage you to look around and create your own activity.   Please do this on
144.230 or lower.   Like I said above, I'm past MI/IN by about 8:30pm anyway, so
you may as well see who's left, once I've moved on.

     It's nice if net control can hear from a few dozen check-ins, no doubt.  
But what's even *better* is when those check-ins spread out and call CQ in
various directions.   That's when you really hear the band come alive.

A handful of us are going to be working on the trailer before the net tonight. I plan to run the net(s) from there, so the range for the simplex part won't be great.

We are planning to eat after the net - around 8:30p.m. at the Arby's on Cork, near Sprinkle.

Feel free to join us. We should still be monitoring 147.470 if there are any questions.

Good news! You get to hear some different voices tonight on 2 meters. Neither
WB9LYH EN64 or I will be around tonight to call our Wed. night nets. So get on
the air and do your own thing.

    If you run into someone who's confused on 144.240 at 8pm, or on 144.250 at
9:30pm, please let them know the nets are off tonight.
    Encourage them to call around on the net freqs. or perhaps slide down closer
to the 144.200 call freq.   If you call CQ and swing your beams around, you
should find activity.    I've sent out all the usual email, letting folks know
what's up.   Michigan has been one of our prime areas for months now, so get on
and try something different.

    We have at least 30-50 folks following along with us every Wed. with these
nets. Imagine if at least once a week, 30-50 guys/gals would get on and call
CQ?? Tonight's the night. Have fun. :)

    Happy Thanksgiving,

Wow... I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.  My deepest sympathies to his family and good friends.
I remember when I first got in to ham radio and started attending meetings in Kalamazoo.  Mr. Watt was always so friendly, and always had a smile on his face.  He really helped me feel more at ease with the group of new people I had yet to get to know. 
I hope that the void of his leaving is at least partially filled by all the good memories he left behind.

Hope to hear some of you on the simplex net tonight.  MI stations are kindly
requested to listen towards the NW side of Milwaukee right at 8:30pm eastern.   
KC9KPV Randy is calling toward MI at 8:30, with a 10 el vertical beam and a good
shot across Lake Michigan.   He then aims toward SW MI and N IN about 8:40, and
N ILL about 8:50.
     I call the omni portion of the net at 9:00pm.   All are welcome; only
purpose is to stir up more activity on less-used portions of 2 meters.

     PS:  If you like reading about increased activity, check out the website.  
WB9LYH in Wood Co. WI, (EN54) was racking them up again last night with the
144.240 net.   25 check-ins total, with multiple guys from Detroit, Indianapolis
and Lincoln/Omaha areas.   Bands were totally flat, so this says a lot about the
range with a well-equipped SSB station on 144 MHz.

The program for tomorrows meeting will be about various tubes (What's a tube?)
Most of the tubes are courtesy of WWMT. We don't know what to do with them
either! If anyone has any odd or unusual tubes you would like to bring to the
meeting that would be great.
  We will also do a recap of the Hamfest.
Hope to see everyone at the meeting.

Quick reminder that the Wed. SSB nets are *ON* tonight.

    WB9LYH in EN54cl (middle of WI) is on 144.240 starting at 8pm eastern.   He
looks east toward MI to start, then swings clockwise a full 360, looking thru
OH/IN/WI/ILL, followed by MO/IA/MN.   Very big signal from WB9LYH -- he worked
into E Nebraska and Thunder Bay, ONT last Wed. with flat bands.  Worked at least
a dozen MI/OH/IN stations, as well.   Be ready at 8pm, if you're interested.

    I'm on 144.250 at 9:30pm.   I start out looking south, and say hello to that
group.   When I've cleared with the SE WI/NE IL guys, I then swing clockwise a
full 360, calling CQ.

    As always, if you want more detail, it pays to visit my website once or twice
a week for a few minutes.   That's all it takes to get caught up with V/UHF news
in the area.
