Good morning everybody, it's showtime. How are you, how are you, how are you? Welcome to the Wednesday morning edition of the Puget Sound Repeater Group's 9 a.m. net. Hey, this is Kilo Delta 7, Papa'u'u, it's Steve Bravo Day, the High Desert Pirate Radio Net Control this morning. And I'm coming to you via an all-star note from Central Oregon, and I'm on the PS surgery repeater in Seattle, Washington. This net meets every day at 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. and on the PS surgery repeater at 146.960 MHz with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. So all you hams out there, set your radios up, come in and join us. As you know, we're all-star and Echo Link connected as well, and we love to hear from people on the internet coming in from all over the country, if not the world. So there you go. Hey, let's see, this is an open net for all hams with a valid license. It's a social net. You can talk about anything you want, just as long as it's user-friendly. It's also a great net for you new hams to get into and get your press-to-talk fingers wet as you jump in. And hey, you know, you won't find a more supportive group of ham radio operators anywhere, I don't think. There you go. Come push that talk button and join us, for sure. It is a directed net, so please remember to go through net control to contact other stations. And when you check in, please try not to tailgate. Let me acknowledge each station as they come in. That cuts down on our confusion a little bit, and we've got plenty of confusion as it is. So there you go. All right, hang on. Let me let it drop for just a second. Okay, the way this works, we are going to build a list of names and call signs. I usually like to do four, five, six or so at a time. Then I'll go back to the top of the list from each of those stations and ask for a report. And when you give a report, try and keep it to three minutes or less. That's the time out of the repeater. And that little nasty alligator will bite you off. There you go. And it also lets us get everybody in as many check-ins as we can in that timely fashion. And mission critical when you do give your report is to please remember to end with your call sign. It tells me you are done with your report and it satisfies the FCC. So there you go. Let's see, what was I going to say? I am the foggiest clue. Oh, we are going to start out with short horizon stations. That is mobiles, IOs, and low power stations, or anybody that is mission critical to get in in a timely fashion. So there you go. IOs are certainly welcome. If you just want to let me know you are listening out there, it is called In-N-Out or IO. They are certainly welcome. And then I won't call on you for a report, but let me know you there. All right, let's see. We are going to start out with short horizon stations. I did that already. Let's try, then we will do some Internet's, then we will open it up to everybody. And like I say, none of this is ever carved in stone. And I do have some net control announcements this morning. I will do after the first couple of rounds or if things get too slow I will throw those in. So there is some fun stuff coming up. I think you'll want to check that. And hey, let's get things rocking and rolling here. This is Kilo Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo Bay, the High Desert Pirate Radio listening for short horizon stations. Who is out there? Come ahead.
