WACKY WING DING REWIND: SUMMER 1979
1979 was a year when bands were hot. A net log from Monday, August 26, 1979 indicates 30 check-ins to the WWD net on 28.690 MHz. Apparently, ten meters was not open that night as only local stations were recorded in the log.
The net started at 2000 (8pm EDT) and concluded at 2216 (10:16pm EDT). These were the check ins:
N4UF Billy WWD #2 (Net Control); W4IZ WWD #1; WD4MDM Pat WWD #1010; WD4ETG Bob WWD # 80; WA4WPQ Carl WWD #53; WD4LSE Bob WWD #1019; WA4EYU Charlie WWD #6; WB4BMB J.H.

In 1979, there was no two meter WWD net. Novices did not have ten meter privileges. The 2010 WWD frequency 28.390 MHz. was CW only in 1979.
Currently, the Wacky Wing Ding Net meets on the W4IZ 146.7/444.4 MHz repeater each Monday at 8PM. Also, sometimes there is a WWD HF net at 7:30PM Monday on 28.390 MHz. If no net control is present, any WWD member may call the net. All check-ins are welcome.
