[NvHam] IRLP / ECHOLINK ARES NET

IRLP / ECHOLINK ARES NET

In an effort to bring the Nevada Section closer together, we have created 
the IRLP-ECHOLINK NEVADA ARES NET.  This net meets twice monthly, on the 
2nd and 4th Saturdays at 0830 a.m.  The net can be accessed on your local 
IRLP repeater by accessing the Western Reflector Channel 8 (Node 9258); or 
via Echolink using Node 152566.  If you are unsure as to how to gain 
access, just ask your DEC or check with our Section Technical Coordinator, 
Kent Johnson W7AOR in Las Vegas at w7aor at narri.org.

We would like to have as many as possible cabinet member appointees as well 
as all DECs and ECs from around the state check in to this net.  Our 
purpose and goal for creating this net is to allow those who cannot or are 
unable to check into the weekly Saturday morning HF Net (3965 at 0800) the 
opportunity to participate and discuss ideas, concerns and training.

This net is the perfect forum to present ideas to each other, voice 
concerns over mutual aid possibilities, exercise our skills and learn one 
to another.  Each of us has unique qualities and skills that we can teach 
others.  This is the perfect forum to do just that and be a team 
together.  What it takes is participation!  If you will set aside the time, 
I know you will be rewarded with some great discussions, as we draw closer 
to and from each other as The Nevada Section ARES Team.  Please accept this 
invitation and join us and pass this information on to other members of 
your local teams so that they might benefit, too.  Remember that we get out 
of these opportunities what we are willing to put into them.

Thanks and 73
