[NCARC] New Tech Net?

[Dan W7RF]

Hi Bryan,

What I envisioned was for a person to ask a question or ask for more 
information on a subject or problem and have it answered by an 
experienced Ham. There would be some back and forth between the 
moderator and the person asking the question to be sure the subject was 
answered completely. There would likely be interaction if the answer 
brought up more questions.
I don't want to rotate "in-turn" as a roundtable because most guys would 
like to listen to an answer, however we would allow pauses and ask for 
anyone to come in and add or clarify.
I won't actually be asking for check-ins, that would waste time. I would 
suspect that this net would be of value and be informative to those 
listening regardless of the question(s) put forth. I will ask for anyone 
with a question unless I received one before via email and that person 
is there to hear the answer. The net may be a one on one or more 
depending on who is listening or who wishes to speak. Those listening or 
arriving later can contribute or ask a question during a pause.
That person would say their callsign during a pause and be recognized by 
the net control, then they would ask or add.

I am opening to suggestion.

This might be nice for the Wednesday night club net also.  I’ve noticed with these local nets that lots of people check in, but then nobody contributes.  If each person that checks in is called upon to speak their 2 minutes, it might make the net more fun and interesting.
