We had a very fruitful and informative discussion last night!! As stated before, those that participated in the Net ensure the continuation of the Net. The Net is not a one person en-devour but belongs to every radio amateur that participate. However it does not belong to listeners as they do not contribute to the Net in any way. I therefor ask listeners to report in by just telling us that you will be listening or to actively participate. Just a reminder the net is not a club affiliated net and is open to all radio amateurs.
The following radio amateurs, repeaters and links were logged:
- Chris ZS1FC
- Pieter ZL1PDT - New Zealand
- Trevor ZS1TR
- Rassie ZS1YT
- Fred ZS6FW
- Wayne ZR2CIA
- Jannie ZS2JFK
- Thys ZS1TBP
- Willem ZS5WA
- Majorke ZS5V
- Johan ZS1I
- ZS1FC-L West Coast Link
- ZS2PE-R PEARS Repeater
Apologies:
Theunis ZS2EC

WEEKLY TOPIC:
Every week we choose a topic question and ask it to each participant.
If you have an amateur radio related topic or survey question that you'd
like the net participants to discuss, we'd love to get your suggestions
and input. Please email your topic suggestions by clicking HERE. If you
prefer that your name/call not be used when we pose your topic to the net,
please state so in your email and we'd be glad to respect your privacy.
This weeks topic:
"Tell us about the best, most interesting or rare contact you ever made up to now in amateur radio!"
"Vertel ons van die beste, mees interessante of rare kontak tot op hede wat jy in Amateur Radio gemaak het!"
This question lead to some interesting comments from all the participants.
