The August net is scheduled to start on Sunday Aug 17th @ 00:00 UTC
and will run for one week and end on Sat Aug 23rd @ 23:59.

For this months net we would ask you to check in using the FLmsg Form 
ICS213. See the complete instructions below include a full PDF with 
screenshots showing the total process.

It is important to understand how we can use resources from one digital 
platform with a another. Process for sharing the FLmsg form is basically 
the same for sending as a Packet message or as a Winlink Message. We are 
encouraging you to check-in using both.

We will continue with taking check-ins via Packet, Winlink & APRS each
mode will count as one check-in each, check-in format is shown below.

All check-in will be mapped at link below:
https://www.qsomap.com/QSOmapProduction/qsomapforQRZ.php?call=n3mel

The TPRFN Network continues to look for additional Hub Stations across
the country. If you have an interest in joining send us a message using
the "Contact Us" form at the link below:
