[AK-VHF] Brain Storming - A New Net

[kl7zkalaska at gmail.com]

Well shucks... I just don't have much in the way of suggestions on this one.
For me, the early Saturday is a little bit of a struggle to get talking.
But, it does seem like a decent time, really. SSB vs FM, well, either way
works for me. 
Thursday evening no good because of the ARES net.  We can't count Mike out
so, evenings after 6 pm no good.  
Humm.... quite a dilemma. 

Spreading the net control duty around seems good.

I'm not fond of all the jumping around to frequencies where we hear nothing
from Anchorage.  Also, if we do digital, maybe it should be during a
different time slot. 

I like the idea of a 6 meter net! 

Let's face it... the 9:30 net is mostly for us peninsula locals, other than
the few who live on hillside.  Let me reiterate that I don't see the need to
jump around to different frequencies for a rag chew net. I do like the fact
that it is a rag chew net. 

I suggest a time slot just after the swap net.  There are so many nets.
Wow... 

This concludes my rambling though segment. 

Thanks for listening.

Dave/KL7ZK

Count me OUT

I don't do evening nets (after snipers).
