All,

We just blasted the following email to 276 recipients:

All,

The April 8th Solar Eclipse event is now just around the corner. In preparation for doing our part we are going to conduct an additional Information Net at 1900 tomorrow, Friday, April 5th. It will conducted on the “76 repeater” (VHF: 146.760 – PL 203.5).

Please log in with us, even if just briefly, tomorrow evening. At that time we will provide the latest guidance from local emergency coordinators. By joining us tomorrow evening, even if you rarely or never participate in our nets, you will be able to confirm that if needed on Monday you will be able to communicate with us and we will be able to communicate with you.

For the latest at any given moment, perhaps before we can send an email, please click this link – THE GREAT DARKENING! Aka, April 8 Eclipse – and see what Dan Beard (KB7JZI) is putting out.
