Hamsexy Net Check-in List

Last Wednesday saw our longest net yet, tipping the scales at a few seconds shy of an hour. We had a total of 30 check-ins, and saw a few new faces among our established crop of regulars.

Once again our epic battle of check-ins between the guys of the Las Vegas superstation and the clutch of hams in Halifax continues unabated. Once again, the Vegas crew wins out with a total of eight check-ins.

If there are any groups of hams that check into tht net on a regular basis from the same area, take a group photo of ourselves and send it in to us…. we’ll feature it on the site and all poke fun at your hamsexyness (not really, we’ll be kind). Vegas guys, I expect a photo next week.

Also, a quick programming note: Thanks to the hard work of the team headed by Dave VE7LTD (the inventor of IRLP), we now have a permanent IRLP/ECHOLINK bridge!! That’s right, if you want to access the net but don’t have access to IRLP, you can now use ECHOLINK to participate!! The ECHOLINK conference room *VAN-IRLP* is now permanently connected to IRLP node 9008 (The Hamsexy Reflector).

This also means a change of location for the net. The net will NO LONGER be held on IRLP node 9007…. for future nets, please use IRLP node 9008.

Remember, although Echolink is far from anything resemling real ham radio, it is PERMANENTLY connected to the node. Because it may be connected to a real over-the-air repeater at any time, be sure to conduct yourselves on *VAN-IRLP* as if you were on the air.

So for next week’s net, be sure to join us either on IRLP node 9008 or on Echolink at *VAN-IRLP* – see you all there!!
