Hi Brett,

That was WB7DZX who lives down in the Burley area now; or, at least she used
to.  Her husband's name is Harry and I think his call is K7HK.

Take care guys and 73.

Yes, I handle some traffic.  Most of it is relayed from one handler to
another, since there is not much traffic coming directly into my area.

I am currently Net Manager for the FARM net (which, by the way, has =
nothing
to do with agriculture).  It is a part of the NTS.  I also serve as NCS, =
at
least once a week,  for that net and the Idaho Montana Net, a cw net
affiliated with RN7.

I am a regular on several other nets in the western states.  It seems that
the number of net members is increasing, but the number of traffic =
handlers
is diminishing.  Too many members just check in to keep their place on the
rosters, and disappear, or find excuses to refuse, when traffic is =
offered.

I agree that learning to deal with traffic correctly, and efficiently is
important to ham radio.  Situations is which ham radio may be most =
valuable,
are those where e-mail is impossible, because the internet no longer
functions.

73,
Gale
