QST, QST, QST. This is a message addressed to all amateur radio operators. The Worldwide Friendship Net is beginning now, September 7, 2025, 1400 UTC. It goes for about an hour starting at 7 a.m. for those of us on Pacific time. We're on the Michigan Conference on Ecolink 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 Worldwide Friendship Net and you do need a Facebook account to join that 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 Ecolink and IRLP, please allow additional time between transmissions for latency and for all the repeaters to reset their timers. Worldwide Friendship Net is a popular net so prolonged check-ins that go on over four minutes may be muted to allow for others that have checked in to have their time. Again, my name is Gina and my call is Kilo VELCA7GEC. When you check in, please speak your call line slowly and infinites. At this time for the first round, I'm taking mobile or short time stations. Again, just mobile or short time stations. Please come now with your call lines for check-in.
