Dear Howard,

Yes, I miss being a net control.  Besides the VHF net I used to run, I have
run MARS nets and I used to be a net control station for the Golden Bear
Amateur Radio net.

I don't trust my memory, so I _always read the preambles.  The MARS net has
the shortest preamble and I can do it from memory--but the others, never!

I'm sure you'll do fine!

73 and 88.
