HI folks, SInce Harvey mentioend it I thought I'd fill y'all in on what I was doing. WEdnesday night we went up to the ST. Charles tap for good steaks and a high ball. After dinner and a drink I returned home, I'd been helping out some with the emergency net on 7285khz. dOn't have 75 operational yet, hopefully this weekend. Anyway, THursday I ended up taking net control for the emergency net on 40 meters for two hours that morning, handling a couple of messages for the SAlvation army locally and then being ncs for the central area traffic net and fifth region nets later on that afternoon. I know that 444.975 repeater was having some problems here in New Orleans, but 146.86 and 147.06 were still oeprational, and I heard quite a bit of traffic on 444.700. Btw curious which repeater you hang out on Harvfey. 73 de nf5b Richard Webb Electric Spider Productions "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --- Benjamin Franklin November 1755 Braille: support true literacy for the blind!
