Wednesday Night 6-Meter SSB Net, 2 September 2020

Opened the net on 50.130 MHz at 2000 and closed at 2050. We had two check-ins: W0MPM, (John) and myself. Excellent discussions tonight with focus on Flex radios, 3rd party software programs and life in general. Make sure you stop by on Wednesday Nights to make sure your rigs still work on 6 meters and say “Hello!”
