No nets yet.  Something I'd like to do...we are few so maybe not a weekly net.  I think HAM radio is a good thing for everyone to get acquainted with ....it's open anyone can hear but I think big brother has written it off and is probably more secure communication by being ignored than texts and emails.

Anyone have any suggestions on frequency, time of day/week/month, etc... I believe it would have to be HF so Tech licenses would be limited. With summer coming on propagation my cause issues as well.

Sounds good to me!

Have my General, but funds are tight right now so no 180-6m rig yet, only 2/1.25/70cm.

Plus, the Hamvention in Dayton (2 hours north of here) is the SAME weekend as the NRA convention, to which I am going, so no used gear even considered until the Lousiville Hamfest in September. Or maybe the Lawrenceburg Hamfest in August, we'll see. I can listen on the Tecsun 660 though.

no HF rig for me yet, but I am shopping around. rigged up the jeep with Yaesu 4 band mobile so I can get a little air time in during all the cross country travel the war dept and I do. I'll let you guys know when I get a nice HF rig to reach out and talk to you from Peru or wherever the heck I may be.

You're only 630 or so miles from me.  I'm thinking 40 meter is the best way to go being that close.  Maybe something on 80M around 3.939 (9x39mm)?

10-4.
