A  big  tip  of  the  14300  journal hat to our three newest
additions to the MMSN net  controllers  roster.  THese  guys
have  been  great at picking up more than their share of the
slack these days. Thanks to all three  of  you  for  jumping
right in there.

Two  of our regulars received mention in the ham radio press
again this week thanks to their  efforts  during  the  Haiti
earthquake.  THe  mention  was  in  Amateur  Radio  NEwsline
referencing their work with hh2jr. They were of course Fred,
w3zu,  and  Rick, wa1rkt. Poor RIck gets these mentions, but
it seems the communications press has  trouble  getting  his
call  sign correctly. Cq communications screwed it up two or
three places in their issue featuring all  the  Haiti  comms
last  spring,  and NEwsline screwed it up last week. We know
who they're talking about though. WOuld sure be nice if  the
communications  press  got  call  signs and other info right
however, as it would sure help  with  the  public  education
efforts regarding what we do on 14300 khz.
