Locked April Sign Up for Sunday Night Night Net , Net Control.

 

Ok, so I have built a form for volunteering to be net control operator for the VHF Sunday Night Net on the W7GRA repeater.
Please consider running the net. It can be a little overwhelming the first time, but it DOES get easier over time!
Just click on the link below and fill out the form. If you volunteer and you have never ran a net before, we will help you get started. We have a script and other tools to help you run the net and there are usually others on the air that can help back you up if you run into a problem.

Subject: [W7GRA Members] 2 meter J pole antenna build

We know of a few people that are in need of at least one J-Pole antenna. I've talked to Ted (N7NSL) and he is willing to do an antenna build this Saturday after the club breakfast. Is anyone in need and want to build an antenna this Saturday, say around 10:30?
