PARC Sunday Night Net

8:00pm on the 146.62.

Interested in becoming one of the Net control operators?

Just e-mail George W7WBN at audax@gotsky.com

The PARC Sunday Night Net continues to be a mainstay of the organization.

Many thanks for your continuing professional support. With your help, and that of

the members and visitors checking in, it made for a very pleasant Sunday

evening.

This year we have had a splurge of new Hams in this area getting their license.

Please encourage them to check in on the Sunday Night Net and get some local operating experience. Remind them that they do not have to be members of the

PARC to check in.

73, George W7WBN
