[ARRL-OK] ARES ON-LINE www.ARESOK.org

[Mark D. Conklin N7XYO]

We're working on that also... some folks have antenna or location issues
to over come. However you did have 4 or 5 of the ZEC or A-SEC on the net
yesterday and a few more EC and DEC.

We did discuss the net all at the meeting Saturday. #1 issue was the
day/time Sunday @ 430p (or 330P). But did not really get a strong
suggestion as what what date and time would work better to get more
leaders on... someting more to talk about and being hams... we can talks a
while :)

One suggestion was to maybe change the net format a bit, have the ARESOK
leaders at the top of the role. And when called for instead of NCS asking
for "Mark N7XYO in Okmulgee"  suggest something like "Mark Conklin N7XYO
Zone EC, Zone 4&5 in Okmulgee" yeah it's longer but from folks that
listen... it helps them know who's who.  Also if someone is a DEC or EC
their that should  mentioned be the NCS when they check in also.

But Rome was not built in a day... and I am guilty on missing the net also
- Sunday afternoon (or during "office hours" )is tough.
