The announcement from Feb Net Announcements: Two TALARC articles on the club website www.legion.org; the first features Post 46 of Danville, Ky., and the partnership they formed with the Wilderness Road Amateur Radio Club, and the second is “The ability to put the Legion out into the community.”
Every Monday at 7 pm CST, another 80 meter net is conducted by Art W5ATK from Enterprise, Ala. Net will be on 3.862 LSB.
