[30m] Net Details

[jhsu802701 at jasonhsu.com]

   I  don't want to fragment a Wide Area Net into multiple regional nets.
   (If  you  wish, you can start your own regional net on 30m and promote
   it  on  this  list.)  I'm not interested in starting separate nets for
   each time zone.



   However,  you  did  give  me an idea.  The net will be a Wide Area Net
   that meets multiple times per week.  For each time that the net meets,
   there  will  be  a  different  mode.  So it will be PSK-31 on one day,
   MFSK-16  on  another  day,  and  other  modes on other days.  I'm also
   trying to decide what other modes to use for the net.

     Hi Jason, well good. Let me suggest this: Select your net controls
     with an eye towards the areas they can cover. Have a weekly message
     that
     is  sent to all net controls who will send it to members that check
     in.
     And have the nets on the same frequency at different times. I would
     try
     holding the East Coast net first and the West Coast last.
        Give the time of each net in GMT so each member can get the real
     local  time,  or  if they are like me I have both clocks in the ham
     shack
     :-)  Members can and should listen to each net and if they hear one
     well, check in even if it's not your closest net control.
        For example it's 5 hours correction to GMT on the East Coast. If
     we
     start  that net at 7 PM local time that will be 1900 EST + 5 = 2400
     GMT.
     In  the  Central Time zone 7PM is 1900 CST +6 = 0100 GMT. 7PM local
     in
     California is 1900 PST which is 1900 PST +8 = 2700 = 0300GMT.
         So  if  we  say  the  nets  start  at 7PM local time across the
     country,
     they  will be staggered in time. I left out the MST because we have
     few
     Hams  and  can just find the net we hear well, with three to choose
     from.
     To  each  member  the  first  few  nets  listen to at least two net
     controls to
     find out which is best.
         This  is just a basic idea how it will work. Much more planning
     is
     needed.
