Tuesday night Elmer net merging into the ARES net
Due to dwindling participation, I'm merging the Tuesday night Elmer Net into the Wednesday night ARES Net, which starts at 8 PM on the VE3OME repeater. Our next course starts September 9, and we'll resume Tuesday night Elmer nets after the end of the course in mid December.

The 13 classes will run from about 9AM to noon on Saturday mornings from Sept 9 to Dec 9 (exam day), skipping the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
