Club Call
I am pleased to announce the OEN now has an official "club" call sign. That call sign is "W7OEN".
I am the trustee of W7OEN at this time. We will be using this call for our on the air meetings and any special events that we may want to do.
At this time we will NOT be using it for the OEN Nets, as they will be run under the callsign of the Net Control as it has always been done.
73's,
Dennis
