The Heavy Hitters Traffic Net (HHTN) has a long history dating back to at least the 1970s. It has seen many changes over the years, and last spring it lost it’s most recent manager Dave Spalding N1LUM. The net has continued since then meeting only on Friday evenings, thanks to the persistence of Scott N1SGB. We are grateful to Scott for keeping the net operating during this transition time.
I am pleased to announce that Joe Weisse W1HAI of Natick has offered to take on the job as manager of HHTN effective July 1. Joe has been involved in traffic nets for a number of years and I feel fortunate that he is willing to take on the rebuilding of HHTN. The net will again meet three nights a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 PM on the Minuteman Repeater Association linked network. This net has an excellent coverage area and Joe hopes to expand that as well as improve the participation. If participation is there we will look at increasing to five nights a week. I hope folks will give Joe their support. For information on locations and frequencies of the MMRA repeaters see http://www.mmra.org.
