470 News Letter For 2-10-10

Hello everyone hope all are well and staying warm, great turn out again on the net last week , hope that everyone enjoyed Josh as the net control along with Danny and Russell.. This net as I have always said is about all joining together weekly to say hello, find out whats going on in our communities, any health and welfare that would need passed, to discuss amateur and other topics, as long as they conform to the FCC Rules, and of course enjoy the trivia.. If you have a comment or maybe would like something else added let me know and would consider, the net is everyone's to enjoy and take part in..also being a family net, we ask that language be watched and or restricted so that when parents or kids are on the are they don't have to hear, also that you go directly to the net control for comments ,ect., and above all remember the 3 second rule , give a pause between transmissions ....
Ok lets look at those links of info !!
