Here is a brief description of the informal net procedure.

The call-up is CQ (Net abbreviation) DE (NCS Call) QNI.

After the NCS sends QNI, send your call once. Please be sure to zero beat
the NCS. When the NCS acknowledges you, just follow his instructions. All
those who check-in will then be given a turn or two to make comments. That's
pretty much it. We're NOT a traffic net nor even all that formal. You don't
even have to learn the special QN signals, as the only one we use is QNI
which basically means check-in. We exist just as a means of some actual
on-the-air slow speed code practice which is different to a certain extent
from computer or tape practice.

Since code practice is so important in becoming a proficient QRP operator,
this is the ONE and ONLY NAQCC activity where we allow use of QRO if
necessary in poor conditions.

Any NON-NET info or comments go to naqcc33 at windstream.net. Again any net
info must be sent to Dan at the email address near the top of this message.
