Southeast Geogia 6 Meter Ragchew Net - 11 Aug 2008

Overall, the Southeast Georgia 6 Meter net is going well. We've been averaging 6 to 8 check-ins per week since we've started.

Last night, the net used the secondary frequency of 50.200 USB instead of the primary 50.130 due to some of the big-gun east coast stations working some west coast multihop E skip (unfortunately, I couldn't hear the west coast station, just the northeast coast stations!). Because of the frequency change, it seemed as if there was going to be slim pickings. Luckily, just as I was getting ready to close the net we had 4 more check-ins, which brought our total to 8. This week's check-ins were:

AF4KL
WD0GFG
K4GTM
KD4PDX
W4REQ
KJ4EGZ
W4JKG
KF4LMT - Net Control

All amateur radio operators with 6 meter privileges are invited to join us each Monday night at 9 PM Eastern Standard Time. We make relay calls for check ins, so even if you don't hear net control, hang around and you might hear one of the relay stations.
