My apologies for missing my net assignment tonight. I look forward to receiving a net report from the person who volunteered to sub in my absence.

Severe WX Expected in Southern Michigan Sunday, March 30

 

Good afternoon,

NWS has Branch County (and other counties) under a tornado watch until 2000 local time this evening. I may not be able to fulfill my NCS Duties this evening on Early Net. If someone could fill for me (if needed), I would appreciate it.

Re: subs needed tonight

 

All,
NO QMN Net last night. Went down
about 8 minutes late, not a sole around.

This report is presumably from the previous June because QMN had 90 sessions with a daily Slow Net, Fast Net, and Late Net.

QST August 1969 issue

From QST Summer 1968

 

It's remarkable how much message traffic was handled back then. QMN had only an Early Net and more QTC than QNI.

?Greetings,

Jim WV0SS has come up with a great looking certificate to be awarded for 90th anniversary of the Michigan Net. Thank you very much, Jim. The attached sample certificate is based on the rather obscure fact that 90 is the "granite anniversary". I asked Jim to create a certificate around this theme, recognizing our 90 years of public service, recognition for the original founders, and to provide places for signatures by our Section Manager, Section Traffic Manager, and Net Manager.

Certificates will be issued later this year and awarded to those participants who achieve (on the honor system); 90 QNI (combined early/late), 90 QNN (NCS), and/or 90 QTC on the net. Some of you, perhaps many of you, will achieve all three levels of participation. If I were to study the net reports, I bet some of you have already qualified.

I am also considering notifying the ARRL of a separate award for any one-time QNI into QMN during 2025, but recipients of that certificate would be charged a nominal fee for printing and handing.

Thank you, Jim, for your artistic contribution to this project, and thank you all for keeping the tradition and service of the Michigan Net alive, for 90 years and beyond!

What do you all think????
