Hello
 from Jim - KC8NTE   

You are invited to participate in the New

Northern Michigan Amateur Radio Emergency Services Net

This net will meet every Thursday night at 01:00 Zulu, with the purpose of promoting the development of skills
and equipment required to complete point to point contacts using simplex frequencies.

The primary net frequency will be 146.520 MHz with a secondary frequency of 146.550 MHz.

This net will be a challenge to you, we will test your ability to establish reliable contact with other hams in and around
Northern Michigan. (Without reliance on our well established local repeater systems.)

The net will act as a forum for exchange of information and provide an opportunity for seasoned
 hams to share their expertise and act as "ELMERS " for newer hams.

The net will provide current information on amateur activities in and around the Northern Michigan Area.
(Come share your activities with the group.)

The net will explore different modes of communication and will utilize all appropriate amateur radio modes and frequencies, including but not limited to CW, PSK-31, SSB Phone, Slow Scan TV, Echo-Link, IRLP ect.
(this net will not just be limited to 2 meter FM phone communications.)

If you have new equipment to test, such as amplifiers, microphones, or experimental antenna designs
 this is the place to try them out and receive feedback from the net participants.
(How do your different antennas compare?)

There will be informal rag chewing at the conclusion of the formal net on a third frequency and different mode each week.
(Dust off that equipment and get Radio Active!)

Please pass this information along to anyone you feel might be
interested in joining our net.

  This net is new and I will be looking for input from the participants for topics and activities.

If you have any questions please email me at

KC8NTE@arrl.net

Thanks and hope hear you on the net
73 for Now
