Now the 9 o'clock net is hosted right here on the Puget Sound Repeater Group 2 meter repeater which is located in Seattle, Washington. Locally here we have an output of 146.96, a negative offset and the PL tone to key it up is 103.5. We are also on All Star and Echo Link. That may be how you're joining us tonight so welcome, welcome. Now the 9 o'clock net is a directed net also known as a formal net but we do have a very informal subject matter. It is a social net of sorts so what that means is you can tell us about your day and that could be ham radio projects or otherwise anything goes as long as it is family friendly and FCC legal. It's a good chance to test your radio equipment, make sure we can hear you. So that said there is a three minute timeout on the repeaters to try to keep your transmission stronger than that. We want to make sure that everyone has a chance to get their check in in a timely manner. So I won't separate into many groups during the net tonight but I do always just like to start with in and outs. It allows people to avoid some of the doubling and whatnot so they can just get in and say hello real quickly and then get on with their evening, whatever that may be. So let's just go ahead and start now. In and outs, please come ahead, call sign and first name.
