Year 6, Week 6
Apr. 27, 2022

The K5TAL net on 80 meters was opened at 6:45 pm (2345z) on 3.862 MHz and had 17 check-ins. Net started 15 minutes early due to rapidly decreasing band conditions. I will take EchoLink check-ins starting at 6:30 CDT at my node WV5Q 383345 and I will also take check-ins via WinLink any time between Wednesday and Friday on WinLink address wv5q@winlink.org. Practice your WinLink skills and use the net check-in template.
