Friday night Net

NOTICE:  The “Thank God It’s Friday Net” has been moved to Tuesday nights. Apparently it interfered with the only PARTY evening of the week, well we can’t argue with that. Therefore from next week the TGIF net will be on Tuesdays at 8.30pm on 3.630Mhz. Please join us for an hour of some HF testing and chatting. By unanimous show of hands the name will remain as is. So catch you on the TGIF on TGIT
