New Net Manager for the Northern Florida Phone Net (NFPN)
Jan 2009

Bill Sander KA4OBP has asked to be allowed to retire from his position as Net Manager of the Northern Florida Phone Net (NFPN). Bill has done a superb job of managing the net, especially during some pretty rough band conditions lately. Thank you, Bill, for all your hard work. You have earned your break; enjoy it!

Bill is being replaced by Dan Moniz KI4HGO of Tallahassee. If you have been checking into any nets at all, you have heard his callsign. He takes the reins of NFPN effective January 1, 2009. Dan has more than adequate credentials to do the job, and will do the best he can to follow Bill's footsteps.

Please join me in thanking Bill for a job well done, and please lend your full support to Dan in his new role. Congratulations Dan!

New Interim Net Manager
Oct. 2008

Dale Sewell W4NBF, of Pensacola, has stepped forward to volunteer as the interim Net Manager for the Florida Mid-day Traffic Net (FMTN). Dale is active on several traffic nets, and is very involved in the digital aspect of handling traffic as well. He is a past STM and NM of the Northern Florida Phone Net.

Dale recognizes the history and tradition of FMTN, not to mention that it is the Florida net that feeds out of state traffic into the daytime NTS cycle. Losing this link would be a devastating blow to the NTS function in Florida.

FMTN meets at noon each day of the week on 7242 KHZ. If you can, please join the net, as there is often traffic for many areas throughout the State.

Please join me in thanking Dale for his team spirit by volunteering for this task.
