KG7NTV commented about reaching the East Coast nets with only 100 watts and a low antenna from his QTH in Oregon—but is experimenting and expects to overcome the technical challenges on 20/40/80 meters, or will ask for relay stations to assist.

Net Control read announcements about the success of the American Legion Birthday Special Event in March 2018; Hamvention in 2018, and QSY of the TALARC 40M net effective May 1.
