NOTE
The T.G.I.F. Net is back in business on Friday at 6:30 pm M.S.T. This is a generic type net similar to the Knobby Knee Net, but starting with a different leading question each week that everyone should be able to answer followed by each participant providing general comments on their activities for that day or week. The T.G.I.F. Net is hosted each Friday evening by John N7LQR, which many of you know from the 60's Net on Tuesday evenings. Warm up that 70cm rig and give the Friday Net a try.
