Net Controller — VE3OZW Richard - Mildmay

We need your help by submitting ideas for topics via this forum.  This is a net for all of us.  Help out your fellow club members and net controllers by submitting topics for future nets.  Reply to this thread with any suggestions.

Consider being a GBARC Net Controller (NC).  It is a positive learning experience and great fun.  The only scary part is if your pen runs out of ink while the calls are coming in!  The more Net Controllers available, the less work for everyone.  Currently, we have 4 NC's so each of us has to cover 1 night every 4 weeks.  Imagine if we had more and doubled the number to 8.

Topic for discussion -

1. Hamshack Hotline (hamshackhotline.com)
    - Do you have the setup?
    - Before saying it is not for you, have you looked to see what it is?
    - What are your thoughts?
3. Open Mic is always an option.

CY0S - IOTA
Rare opportunity to make a contact with an expedition on Sable Island this week till March 29th. 
The US seven member team is operating CW, SSB, FT8, EME and satellite with 4 HF stations, 6 meter, satellite and 2 meter EME station.
With the recent solar flares, band conditions were in a bit of disarray but still few day left to make this rare contact. 
You can check out the latest news from the expedition on CY0S expedition as well their latest spots on the bands at CY0S spots.
I hope to make a couple before the expedition departs back to  US.

Good luck and happy DXing.

1. Are you protected for thunderstorm season?
2. Why did you get into Amateur Radio?  Was it for
    a) the technical aspect or
    b) the camaraderie / social 
3. Open Mic is always an option.

Dave VE3WI mentioned WLW in Ohio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLW

We usually associate EME with max legal power, huge antenna arrays & much $$$. 

This guy made an EME contact on 70cm with a battery-powered IC-9700 running 75W, an Arrow 10 el. yagi and a laptop running WSJT-X in Q65 mode.
