146.430 Net Report — 11 check-ins, good SE WI conditions

    Nice net tonight.   Plenty of strong signals, a few new guys, and a few guys who will be getting going on SSB soon.   These kind of nights keep me going.  
   We heard from:
   KC9ISU  Jim  in Newburg, Wash. Co.    Jim’s first time to the net and he pinned my meter.  
   KC9QNH  Fred    Kewaskum   Also full scale
   KM4G   Marv   Germantown    Full scale which is way above normal for Marv
   KC9PQF  Tom  West Allis     Full scale with his new Kenwood TS-2000.   Expect to hear Tom on 6 and 2m SSB this spring or summer.   Great news there.
   K9FI   Jerry   Brookfield     S4
   WD9ITJ   Bill   Sussex          20 over S9
   KX9M    Bill    Sussex           Also 20 over
   WB9RJB   Richard   Manitowoc    S7 peaks    First time for a Manitowoc check-in.    Nice signal; hope we can get the word spread up that way.  
   N9TRY   Tom   Portage      S1 at best.    This used to be KC9NJP.    Good to hear Tom tonight.  
   W9JFM   Dan    Algoma, Kewaunee Co.    S0 — about 20% copy.   This is also a new callsign.   Dan checks in on our Wed. night SSB net and he used to be N9JKX.  

    I closed the net at 8:50pm and WB9TFH and K9FI are ragchewing on 146.430.    I’m listening for the new 146.460 net out of La Crosse and in 10 minutes, I haven’t heard anything — no great surprise there.
