organization has met a major milestone with the publication of their website
at <a href="http://houstonsimplex.pythonanywhere.com">houstonsimplex.pythonanywhere.com</a>.
The site contains many important features developed for the net, including
Scripts, an FAQ, a brief tutorial on NetLogger, and other helps. Participants
are highly encouraged to sign up for email updates at <a

have been contacted by Dwaine KG5UJO, who operates a simplex net in the SE Houston
area. We are discussing doing some joint simplex exercises with them in the
near future. This is very exciting, and I am sure there are other simplex nets we
could work with as well. If you know of any of these, please send me whatever
contact information you may have.</span></p>
