We would like to extend a Happy Thanksgiving to the entire GERATOL family, and we hope you are able to spend quality time with family and friends this year.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we would also like to give a special “Thanks” to our Net Control Operators, who continue to keep the GERATOL Worked All States alive and active, and have done so now, for 50 Years !!! Thanks to all NCS.

We would like to take a minute to welcome some of our latest subscribers to the GERATOL Website.

• N9CWW – Clark, who represents the great state of Indiana. My guess, with a CWW call sign, combined with his QRZ page sporting a big picture of the Morse Code symbols on the screen, Clark may be a CW enthusiast. You are in good company on the GERATOL Net Clark, since many of us are former service men and women, or just plain ham nuts, who are Morse operators, when not checking into the GERATOL Net. Clark’s call is good for the “N 1×3” endorsement. Welcome Clark.
  
  
• N1UZ – Bill, hails from my home state of Taxachusetts, and just happens to be the President of the Mohawk Amateur Radio Club, of which I am a proud member. I’ll try to coax Bill on board to the net some evening, so you all don’t have to put up with only N1KL and N9SC representing Massachusetts. Bill’s call is good for the basic award of course, and we hope he can join us some evening this season. Welcome Bill.
  
  
• TOM – Tom did not provide his call sign upon registering, but we would like to welcome him aboard.
  
  Thanks for taking the time to register on our website guys, and we look forward to working you some evening, starting at 0100Z on 3.668 Mhz
  
  

OTHER GERATOL NEWS:

• The GERATOL 50th Anniversary Certificate continues to be chased by many GERATOLers checking in, and in fact Dave, our Awards Manager, KJ8V confirms that he indeed has already issued several certificates, this early in the season. Well done to those who successfully contacted 50 stations with GERATOL Numbers !!
  
• STAY TUNED !!!! In addition to the 50th Anniversary Certificate, to help celebrate our 50th year in service to the Ham Radio community as a unique Worked All States on on 80M, we will be conducting some additional activities. More to come as the 2021/2022 Season marches on, and as (hopefully) conditions continue to improve.

The new GERATOL Anniversary Certificate is being actively pursued on the net. Our Awards Manager, KJ8V informed me that he has issued several certificates already !! That is awesome. Again, thanks to both Dave (KJ8V) and Sandy (KJ8W) for their sponsorship of this exciting new certificate, celebrating 50 Years of the GERATOL Worked All States Net.

If you have not heard about it yet, check the POST on our website explaining how to qualify for one, or simply go to our website, and look under the AWARDS tab, at the top of the site’s tool bar.

The following hams took the time to register on our GERATOL Website. Let’s give them a hearty welcome aboard, and we hope to hear and work them on the net this season. WELCOME guys !!

• KD9SWA – Lee from Wisconsin. Lee’s 2×3 “K” will be sought out by the guys looking to complete Endorsement #17 to work stations with 2X3 Call sign formats.
• N7KJ – Scott from Montana. Those looking to complete Endorsement #18 for State Capitols, will be glad to hear Scott on from Helena, MT !!
• WB2JCC – Matty from New York. Always great to have a NY station on the net, but Matty also operates out of Maine ! So be on the look out !!

Welcome aboard to each and every one of you, and should you have any questions about the website, or the net in general, feel free to fire me off a note to: n1kl@geratol.net

73 to all, Kevin N1KL
