The QCWA related Net spreadsheet has been attached.? The list shows that Mason Sarles, K5YHX had 18?attendees this morning on January 5th. ?Jim Popelarski, W5WN, Jerry Sams, N5KNU, and Foster Rich, K5EUZ, all assisted in helping out with some of the distant Western United States locations – Primarily California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

?

The normal Sunday QCWA41 7:00 AM net caller sequence is Carl Solomon followed by Jim Popelarski followed by Jerry Sams followed by Mason Sarles.? Jerry Sams, N5KNU, has offered to join the regular callers list and we are grateful to have him.? Jerry does a great job as a net controller and we are lucky to add him to our net controller list.? Jay Urish, W5GM, has also volunteered to be one of the QCWA41 net controllers. He would do a good job and could probably be heard by almost everyone.? I believe Mason Sarles, Foster Rich and I would be willing to assist Jay if he needed some help with some of the distant stations.? I can hear almost all of the California, Arizona and New Mexico stations using the Reno SDR repeater.

Mason had one Guest check in who had only a General Class License and was therefore not eligible to check in on the 3835 MHz frequency that we use every Sunday morning at 7:00 AM.? An Advanced Class or an Extra Class license is required at the frequency we use every Sunday morning.

?

Please look at the QCWA Net List Attendee Count I attached above and you will see that we have a number of users that have not checked in for quite some time.? I believe we should make an effort to contact these users and see if they intend to begin checking in on a regular basis.? If they do not we should let them know that they will be eliminated from our list of current users.? Each of the QCWA41 Sunday net callers should make this announcement every week as soon as you start the net.

Your faithful servant,
