Back when I had a 746, I checked into this net.  What I found was a net 
control that could manage to log in as many as 1 per 2-3 minute period.  By 
the time the he got done checking people in, he closed the net.  I had 
hoped that the group would be able to compare notes and help people.  NOT.

Perhaps it has improved but I doubt it.  I have past experience at NCS'ing 
and volunteered to do the net but was turned down flat.  Monumental waste 
of time, in my book.
