[PPRAANet] 6 meter fm net possibility

[Dan Martin]

While I've let my PPRAA membership lapse (time and health matters, both 
temporary I hope), here is my two cents worth:

(1) I don't think anyone is suggesting that PPRAA have a 6 meter net to 
the exclusion of any other net. If that were the case, I would urge 
PPRAA to have as many nets as members want on all the bands.

(2) It would also be odd for PPRAA to restrict its net operations to 
only those nets that all members can access. We all have limitations. If 
PPRAA restricts its activities to only those things that everyone can 
participate in, then PPRAA necessarily would forego providing 
challenging and pleasurable growth opportunities to the bulk of its members.

So, I see no reason why PPRAA should not add a 6 meter net if a 
significant number of its members wish.
