Net Honored By Original 1X2 Check In
On February 19 during the morning net, we were honored to have W4KB check into the net. Del was a special check in because he is 97 years young and has been a Ham for 81 years. He became a Ham in 1926 and was issued the call sign 5NM. We were all very excited to welcome Del and wish him many more years on the Amateur bands.
New Web Site
Recent events have made it possible for the 7290 Traffic Net to have a new web site, one created and maintained by its' elected officers, with the exclusive needs of the membership in mind. This site and its' domain belong soley to the 7290 membership, and is the only official web site for the net. There is no longer a webmaster, so any questions, additions, comments or corrections should be given to one of the officers. Your officers hope you enjoy the new site and we will continue to improve it for the benefit of the net.
On the air Traffic Training
Traffic training scheduled for Tuesdays and Saturdays has been suspended for the time being due to poor band conditions. We will resume when (and if) propgation improves.
