I forgot to mention USB a good idea, kind of separates the boys , and CEF members command again. I remember the boys on chnl 13 use to get real mad on SUNDAYS when the CEF net was on..funny they should have joined and enjoyed the nets...73 see you on 10/11

I don't do CB anymore as my local's wont let me talk, why I took up Ham in the 1st place.
But I do check 10,6 and 12 meter everyday in hopes to hear some of you. |

Thats sad that the net has gone downhill. I remember years ago when it was all the rage. I tried a few times but from Colorado I never seemed to break through. I rememeber reading all of the contacts that were made though here on the forum. Sad.

It is sad, it's like when Lonnie Died he took CEF with him. I don't recall a net after his passing. |

We will never have 808 back, but if we were to work at it, we could get the net going again.

I belive we can get the Net going again. We need to just keep on here posting our contact's ever few day's and people will start to get courius again about if they too can have any luck making any DX contact's. It's is bad that Tech 808 passed, but let's not let his and the other's that started the Net hard work die too. I read on here how much time they put into finding the right channel, it was amazing how much time and effert they put into this.
Well I guess only time will tell if the Net will make a come back or not.
Sorry if I make anyone mad.

Someone has to step up to plate that can be dedicated to running it, for some reason a lot of the gang that used to be on here with the exception of the ones whom has passed, doesn't hardly get on here anymore, maybe since old man winter is almost here, more will get back on here.
Starface I would talk anyways, after a while they will go away, I have some around here like that, they are very rude and disrespectful, all you can do is pray for them. |
