I am in favor of the tech net on 2 meters only. During my period of
inactivity in the'70's I used to listen to the LIMARC tech net on a pocket
Radio Shack Mini Patrolman.

The net that Pete wants to use on Friday evenings is going to be managed by
him on an "ad-hoc" basis.  We cannot put this on the 440 without managing
other links.  The 440 is linked to the 900 and the N1DOT system.  

The idea that Pete brought to me was to encourage more participation from
members and most members have 2M systems rather than 440.  For those
reasons, the Friday activity will be on 2M.  Pete will set it up and take it
down when he is available to manage it.  The linking requires DTMF access
tones so the 2M system is better for this trial.

Any full member can use the linking capability on either machine as long as
we don't interfere with other linked systems.  Since this is new, this is
how we want to run it for a while to try it out.  Emergencies will always
take precedence so there is really no difference which repeater is used for
this activity.

Thank you
Craig

To all,
A thought occurred to me when Drew had mentioned the ''Tech Net'' when Eric
was around.   Well, in keeping with the desire that Eric had to generate
more use on 442.250, how about having that ''Tech Net'' on Friday but have
it on 442.250!  ????  It's only one hour long and It just may be something
that the network which the 442.250 repeater is linked into would even like
the idea!! ??
As Craig pointed out, the Gent who runs that 'network' is extremely
knowledgeable and might even join in with interesting and educating
information!   Maybe??
Optionally, the link could be disabled for the one hour!

was the NCS and Marty was a regular as well as other astute members. It was
interesting. I don't know why it was discontinued as there were interesting
discussions.

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.

repeater will be disconnected and available for anything else that may
require disconnection.

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.
