<p class="MsoNormal">There were <b>25 check-ins</b> for last Wednesday’s <b>Hudson Valley 80 Meter Net </b>including <b>six first-time participants.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>106 different amateur radio operators having checked-in</b> at least once since the Net began in December of 2021 as the updated and revised Roster [attached above] shows.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Stations from <b>27 New York counties and 7 states </b>have participated since the inception of the HV 80 Net in December of 2021.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Amateur radio operators from the Canadian Border to the Southern Shore of Long Island have checked in and the <b>new start time of 5:00 pm EDT is working well.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The HV 80 Net and our associated HV 80 Website is not just for Hudson Valley Stations! </b> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We welcome all check-ins and Forum posts from licensed amateur radio operators.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reports from your home area of fund raisers for first responders or charitable organizations; hiking trails; unusual natural phenomena; local history and historical sites; community events; great restaurants and wineries; recreational opportunities; notices about trail and road closures and, of course, amateur radio and ‘maker’ events are encouraged.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wherever you reside, your own knowledge, experience, and news can be of help to those who are planning business or vacation travel to your home town and county.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are pleased that the <b>Hudson Valley 80 Meter Website at </b><a href="https://www.hudsonvalley80meter.net/" target="_blank">https://www.hudsonvalley80meter.net</a> is now up and running and many are posting information that will be of interest to those checking in and listening to the HV 80 Net.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently we are only ‘on the air’ one day a week and the HV 80 website allows us to continue our communications and mutual support of one another and others in our local communities throughout the week.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope the new website will support our regional community of amateur radio operators and provide for enhanced communication, cooperation, collaboration and camaraderie between and amongst all those in our region, neighboring regions and states.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You needn’t submit the ‘Sign-Up’ form to view the Forum of Blog Posts on the website.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just click the ‘X’ in the upper right-hand corner of the form to gain access to the website.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, we hope that many will indeed submit the form which will allow you to submit your own comments, reports, replies and inquiries.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> Thanks to the efforts of <b>Joe AD2AH </b>there are now <b>5 layers in the map </b>showing the 1) location; 2) elevation; 3) weather stations (if known) of previous participants; 4) stations that participated in the HV 80 Pilot Tests and Inaugural Sessions and 5) Hudson Valley and neighboring region 2-Meter Repeaters showing offsets and PL tones.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you very much for all your hard work, Joe.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will find a URL link to the Map on the new Hudson Valley 80 Meter Net website at <a href="https://www.hudsonvalley80meter.net/" target="_blank">https://www.hudsonvalley80meter.net</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <b>Hudson Valley 80 Meter Net</b> is held <b>weekly on Wednesdays at 5:00 pm on 3.835 MHz (+/- 5-10 kHz).</b></p>
