This week’s discussion topic was how isolation is affecting you, and how you reached out for Buddy Checks. We are doing weekly emails and will look into Zoom conferencing in the near future. Brian, KM4MLS, noted they have started a daily AM 2 meter group for Buddy Checks, and most others are using multiple methods: phone, email, FaceTime, Zoom, or HF/VHF/UHF for their daily or weekly Buddy Checks.

Announcements: From Apr Net Announcements, all AL cancellations of programs, and cancellation of national convention with all officers to be held in position until national convention in 2021. Also the continuing need of blood, and if you are able you are encouraged to donate. Full information on all the Legion cancellations and TALARC nets can be found at www.legion.org/hamradio.
