QST, QST, QST. This is a message addressed to all amateur radio operators. The worldwide friendship net is beginning now, August 17, 2025, 1400 UTC, and goes for about an hour starting at 7 a.m. for those of us on Pacific time. We're on the Michigan Conference on Echo Link as well as IRLP on nodes 9617 and 96170. For more information about the net, please check out our webpage at worldwidefriendshipnet.org. We also have a Facebook group. Search there for World Wide Friendship Net and you do need a Facebook account to join the group. This net is open to all amateur radio operators. It is a directed net and I'm your net control for today. My name is Gina. My call is KD7GEC and I'm located in Portland, Oregon. Since this net is connected through several links with Echo Link and IRLP, please allow additional time between transmissions for latency and follow the repeaters to reset their timers. The World Wide Friendship Net is a popular net so prolonged check-ins that go on over four minutes may be needed to allow for others that have checked in to have their time. Again, my name is Gina and my call is KELO Delta 7GEC. When you check in, please speak your call sign slowly and infinites. At this time, I'm taking mobile or short time stations for this first round. Again, just mobile or short time stations. Please come now with your call signs for check-in.
