3905 Century Club
The 3905 Century Club is in need of Mississippi stations
to check in to the 75m early net so we can get QSOs for Worked All
States and other awards. Would you notify your members and see if
anyone is willing to check in so we can work them?
The net starts taking check ins at 0230 Zulu on 3.902 MHz. There is
a rag chew net on that freq until 0230z
but they turn it over to the 3905 Century Club 75m Early Net promptly
at 0230 Zulu. I really appreciate it and look forward to working Mississippi
Stations.
