Rail fan net on the HF bands

As you know we have a local Rail Fan Net here each week in Pittsburgh Thursday evenings at 09:30 local time on the 146.880 repeater. Please join us if you are in the area and enjoy steel wheels rolling on steel rails. Discussion of all things trains are welcome.

A local ham, KB3FCZ, sent me email with information on another Rail Fan Net that is on the HF bands. This has to potential to be a lot of fun. Join in if you can.

Just a note to let you know that there is another railfan net that JIM W3LZR from Dravosburg, PA told me about.

It is Friday night at 7:00 PM with the guys showing up as early as 6:30 PM. It is on 3.930 Mc. LSB.
Last night there were 10 guys on the net and except for Jim and I they were in Western OH and in MI.
Several of the guys are still working on the railroad and know a lot about RR.
It is called the "B and O and C and O net".

This was my first time on this band and it was a lot of fun. I had to hussle to get an antenna working
because my 10 meter dipole just did not do it. I opened the shield on the 10 M dipole and made it a long wire.

Here is a partial roster:

KB3FCZ
W3LZR
NC8Y
AG8Y
AE8I
N8UOS
N8GF
W8RRI and he IS a RR inspector!
WB8NKG
KB8ORE
KG8IIC

Show up next Friday and join the fun.
