     Listening to the WIN system on an IRLP repeater a while back and came across this segment they have called the Tech Net on Friday nights on this system.I think its really good.


     This net is hosted by "Shorty" K6JSI who is really great at running this net. It is open to all that wish to ask him something pertaining to Ham Radio and he can answer the basic questions or on the most advanced subjects. No, he's not a Gordon West or the ultimate foremost authority in Ham Radio, but knowledgeable and holds his own. I have listened to other tech nets through the years and most of them are very self contained and not into outsiders being involved. Not so here.

      I'm proposing to the membership to air the Tech Net on our 2 meter repeater on Friday nights on a temporary trial basis to see what the general consensus is for this net. There would be no linking for this as we do on Sunday nights. This net would air 22:00 hrs on Friday night and would last for just an hour. Yes...the hour is kind of late, but we are talking West coast time. At the end of the net, the 2 meter repeater will be disconnected and returned to normal local amateur use with sleep mode enabled and available for use at 0400.

     Should an emergency happen during this special net broadcast,  the repeater will be disconnected and available for anything else that may require disconnection.

     

     The Tech committee is looking for ways to make our club/hobby more interesting. The Sunday night social net,  in tandem with this proposed Friday night net special, may be a good fit. If it is, we could keep it as a regular program. If not, we can drop it.
