Welcome To WARFA The Friendship Net

by Bill, WØQNI

WARFA welcomes all amateurs to an evening of friendship. There is no roll call. Everyone has a chance to talk about his day, week, health, the weather or whatever they want to talk about. WARFA is divided into 3 regions, North (Alaska down to the Canadian border), Central and South. In this way, with the help of our relays, even a QRP station from Canada gets a chance to talk.

Our HF net meets at 8 p.m., Pacific Time, every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights on 3.908 Mhz.

WOQNI

 Band Conditions (B-). Better conditions tonight. Only some white noise. Again I want to thank Chuck, NO6L, as relay for the south. Thanks also to Forrest. KJ7XP for the north.

K6ERI - S.K.

There will be a CW call up on Thursday's net.

It is with a very sad heart that I have to report the death of Jerry DeMoss, K6ERI, our Tuesday night southern relay. Last night about 7:30, Sandy Miller, his daughter, called me and said that Jerry passed on at 6:00 PM, due to a heart attack.

There will be no services as he wanted to be cremated and his ashes scattered somewhere illegally.

It was only last Tuesday, 8-26-08, that he acted as southern relay. We will miss his booming base voice we all loved. He was a gentleman, always calling for Marcia (KE6FKL) and Earl, N6ECE, even if they were not there.

"Let's see if Marcia is here".

Cards may be sent to:
The Family of
GERALD V DE MOSS, SR K6ERI
473 SALEM AVE
OXNARD CA 93030

Needless to say, I was a little shook up and it showed at the first of the net. But as the net progressed it came back to its normal insanity. Most expressed surprise and sadness and said a few words about Jerry.

  Whats this? did I hear frim Dirty Radio that Earnestine, N6ETP, is going to call Bingo Friday night. WOW.
