From QST Summer 1968
It's remarkable how much message traffic was handled back then. QMN had

Re: W8EGI

1969 Preambles
I recently asked Rich K8MEG if my recollection of 1969 QMN preambles was
accurate and he concurred.
At 6 pm, "CQ QMN SLOW SPEED TFC NET". I liked that.
At 6:30 pm, "CQ QMN FAST SPEED TFC NET". And
