The Moonshine Net began when Dennis Lazar, W4DNN, came upon an old RadioShack Realistic HTX-100 10 meter transceiver in pristine condition on eBay and was unable to resist adding it to the shack.Once on the air and with no one to talk to in this ebb of the sunspot cycle, Dennis announced on the Sunshine Net that a new ten meter net would meet Wednesday and Sunday evenings on 28.405 MHz at 7 pm EST and would be called the "Moonshine Net."
Dennis was quickly joined by Matt Regan, N8RZZ, and Randy Hyatt, KC3CH, as movers and shakers and the net was off to a fast start.

To celebrate, Dennis and Randy arranged for a dinner at a local restaurant.

Dennis and his wife, Ruthie, were previous owners of a small publishing company in West Palm Beach on Florida's east coast.
