Hello Gentlemen of Sideband Junk,

This is Pat WB9GKZ returning to the airwaves tomorrow, Saturday September 17th, 2011. I have put up a very nice dipole for 75 Meters, on the Flat Side, radiating North/South. The old Drake TR-3 is on stand-by alert to run (ruin) the Vintage Sideband Net at 8:30AM. Yes, I can start the Net any time I wish...and I will!

So, gather up all your junk and let's make some noise tomorrow morning, 3840 KC/s.

Pat WB9GKZ
The Net Nut
PS - 160 is next, if there's enough wire left on the spool! PPS - I love you all.

Vintage SSB Net 3840 khz + / - 
Saturday Mornings 8:30 Central

Every Saturday morning at 8:30 AM the Vintage Single Sideband net begins on or near 3838 khz run by "net control" WB9GKZ -- Pat in Green Bay or one of our alternate net controls. Listen to Pat's short history of the "net"  

The net begins with check-ins. Pat invites all check-ins to make a transmission or two then the net goes into "push-to-talk".

Pat is always open to suggestions for improving net operations. Contact Pat at: WB9GKZ@vintagessb.net.


Since we all like to see this beautiful equipment, we encourage everyone who checks in to submit photos of their transmitters and receivers or entire ham shacks.


To submit your photos,  email them to N9MS@vintagessb.net. If you want your own callsign@vintagessb.net email address, contact Mike N9MS.
