[NLRS] 222 Tuesday on Life Support - response

[Jim Froemke]

Hi Todd. 

Just got back to EN26 from EM00 and expect to have the low bands (including
222) back on the air within a week or so. I'll let you know when we're done.
I hope that you could keep the nets going as they are great for testing out
our stations but I understand the frustration in doing so with few
check-ins. Before you pull the plug maybe you might want to consider
distributing the net control to stations around the area. Then perhaps a
once per month net control duty wouldn't seem as frustrating. If so, you
could count on me for one of the distributed net control stations within the
limits of my relatively low power on 222 located 416 miles NW of your QTH.
Or, perhaps dual net control stations operating in tandem each Tuesday to
extend the coverage. This might be fun to do once a month.

In any case keep up the good work. One of the major "cons" of new VHF
stations is that "they can't hear anyone on the bands". Compared to their
experience operating though a repeater where they can at least hear the
repeater come back to their transmission if not other local FMers. Many
folks are still looking for instant gratification and would rather buy
frozen fish from a store then try and catch a walleye in the wild.
 
Just some random thoughts.
