2000z - 2030z N.AM.Transcontinental Net on 14,287. -Note slight change of frequency.
A special Welcome Back ! and Many Thanks to Jack Page KF4BD for this report.
Hello Mr. Bill:
Because our esteemed treasurer Mr. Bob WB7RQG is taking in the money [I hope] he is busy so I will report on our Sunday Feb 19 net.
The check-ins were Bob WB7RQG, Joe W0TBC, yours truly Jack KF5BD the invalid recuperating at home and feeling better incidentally, Reuben W2LGF, Pertti EA7GSU, and three guests [non Rotarians].
Again we missed Jim W1QUO who may not have been informed the net changed freq to 14.287 to avoid QRM and QRN. Jim, we trust you are feeling well and perhaps just had a small tech issue with the station. I announced that all of us were invited to call Pertti on 14.293 some time on the 23rd of Feb and help him advertise the polio drive.
Jack KF5BD - still gathering strength at home.
Messages Received.
Note Rotary International's birthday is on Thursday February 23. (107 years old)
This year RI is re-starting the Polio Plus programme which we ran in 1985 1995
with great success. It still needs more work particularly in some African countries
as well as follow-up re-vaccination programmes worldwide.
R.I. requests maximum publicity on the 23rd. including the medium of Amateur Radio.
If you can spare some time please get on the air and tell all contacts about Rotary and Polio Plus.
Prsident Pertti will be on the air all day on all the usual Rotary frequencies.

That's all for this week,
