NETS OF NOTE: THE ROOSTER NET HAS SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT

DON/ANCHOR: We end this week with an installment from our occasional 
series, Nets of Note. We revisit a very proud group of early morning 
radio enthusiasts who Newsline first interviewed back in 2017. Jim 
Damron, N8TMW, tells us why they're so proud right now.

JIM: The early risers who have been meeting on 80 meters at 6 a.m.. local 
time since 1957 are about to celebrate a milestone and this isn't exactly 
chicken feed. The Rooster Net, as the group is known, will be marking 
24,000 daily sessions on the air on May 26th.

The check-ins - that's check-ins, NOT chickens - can expect to get pretty 
lively that day on 3.990 MHz. The rooster roster claims amateurs from as 
far north as Canada, as far south sometimes as South America and as far 
west as Arizona and Montana. So congratulations to these hams who leave 
the nest early to get up with the sun - and with one another. That's 
something to crow about.

This is Jim Damron, N8TMW.
