YES!
We WILL have net night this week (Thursday 10/22 – doors open approximately 6:30pm). The K8IV repeater will be on the air for the net!
So, if you can, stop out – this will be the last “Net Night at the Clubsite” this year due to Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Sorry – no gift exchange…….
If you can’t be there (and really you don’t have any good reason for not showing up) at the very least – check into the net! The net starts at 8:00PM on the K8IV repeater – 146.895 Mhz, with a PL of 118.8 hz. Also on the K8BF-L Echolink node. Be There.

I’m happy to announce that the K8IV repeater is back on the air!
