New VHF Traffic Net
The ARRL Los Angeles Section NTS has begun a VHF/UHF phone traffic net Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2000 local time on the DARN repeater network. Volunteers are needed as net control stations. All ARES members -- and especially current ARES net control stations -- are encouraged to participate. For more information, see David N6HD's posting on the Yahoo user group. The net schedule and script for net control stations are available here.
Public Service Honor Roll
Want to see your call in QST? (We mean inside the magazine, not just on the mailing label on the cover.) Here's a link to N6HD's PowerPoint presentation on how to rack up public service points and be recognized in QST's monthly Honor Roll.

Want To Become a Ham?
If you're not a licensed amateur but always dreamed of becoming one (or if the idea just occurred to you five minutes ago), getting your license is easy and fun. There are many training classes for the entry-level Technician license. Check our Events section to find a class near you. There are also any number of sources of information on the web to get you started. One of the best is the American Radio Relay League's Hello site. Check it out.
