Mike,

What Jonathan Solomon said.

Region 1 CERT has a lot of newly licensed hams who have never before spoken
into a radio.  We are taking every opportunity to get them to use their
radios to get used to using radios.  Get their ears attuned to voice over
FM, get them to stop being mike shy, get them used to properly holding and
operating their radios, etc.

The net is also an opportunity for us to share techniques and situations
we've come across.  For example, at today's drill one of the SFR
firefighters taught me how to do a "squelch feedback search", and the net
will be a good place to teach the people in the other CERTs.
