Good afternoon,?
The national American Legion website didn't say anything about limits as to who was in or out of the net. Several net secudals are in conflict with each other.? I was under the impression the net was open to any ham.? I have only seen a few times a VFW members were rejected from the canteen or bar.? I was told I didn't qualify to join the VFW even though my uncles served in the Philpeans, France, and Germany and we're KIA in those countries, expect my father who was moved a lot to stay out of danger. I brought up the issue about two families that were VFW to the post manager and the issue was handled in some manner that the bartender/club manager and VFW customer never came back.? I think more was taking place under the surface than was commonly known.? I know some type of a hidden problem is or was taking at that time; and now? again with lifetime members of both groups being told they have to pay a local post fee and pay a full retail price for food and drinks!? This isn't going over we'll and shouldn't. We all had a common goals and objectives!?
Back to HF net a conflict is taking place on paper. The Kansas Weather Net and Kansas SSB/NTS are taking place at the same time,? according to what I was hearing last night. I didn't look over your net directory you used because it wasn't listed on the web.?
I hope this helps.?

Is this net "local" or nation wide for Legion members... As a FYI if you can join the VFW you can join the American Legion, Doesn't always work in reverse, however I've never heard of a VFW refuse a Legion member entry to a canteen. However, anyone greeting you will probably sponsor you for entry and you must sign in as a guest.
I have both VFW and American Legion credentials.
W?VFW is usually on Blind Hams Network.. but it does go local 7pm Thursday's for A local Club net, however any check im is always welcome.
At the time that that net is on Blind hams runs a net at the same time focusing on the META-GLASSES.. Rayban and others.. Quite amazing and coupled with a phone, that can actually read a menu for a blind person and also work as a body camera..
K5TAL (The American Legion) has a number of nets listed, 80 meters, D-star, West Coast, Echolink and Kentucky.. So depending on your capability, best like Church said is to go to the national web site and search for K5TAL or Amateur Radio Net.. here's where I went:
