[Mobile-Portable] How About A HF Mobile HF Net? - HfPack Frequencies

[N1KHB at aol.com]

HFPack has also turned itself into a commercial enterprise. Have you seen  
their web site? Mugs and tee shirts are a dominant feature not to mention 
Packer  amplifiers. Myself and others have left it over that as well as 
activity  issues.
   The advantage of the established nets like Ecars and Maritime  Mobile is 
that they keep the frequencies open with a net control presence. One  way 
to deal with that is to establish initial contact there and invite a chat  
off frequency wherever there might be an opening. Without a net control it 
will  be that much harder to hold any given frequency open. Just sayin'.
 
Best,

Thats a  new one for me.

As a early founder participant in HfLink, HfLinker,  HfPack and others, 
we worked out bunch of frequencies for 10-160 that are  still established 
.... but the HfPack group is dying on the vine from lack  of users.

HfPack users have complained to me over the years about lack  of other 
HfPack stations to chat with. Due to their limited power, antenna  and on 
the air time, I have been encouraging mobile stations to make calls  on 
those frequencies too. That way the mobiles attract other mobiles and  
some base stations, and that gives group activity that will help the  
HfPacker have some one to chat with too.

In USB

if enough users were  active, then a regular net schedule could be worked 
out some time on some  frequency.
