[SMCARA] New Ham Net

[Allen Landmann]

Mr. Shelton the Hollywood repeater sounds like a good choice,
 the only thing that I'm wondering about is getting permission to use it.
Does anyone know who sponsors it? Any time suggestions would also be
appreciated (unless the sponsors would like it other wise). If possible it would be great to 
get in touch with the people that just got done with the Tech class.

Allen,

For new hams in our area I'd recommend the Hollywood repeater or the PF repeater.  The club repeater has been having some location problems (grungy noise crashes).

The 146.895 could certainly be used as the hosting repeater... But I don't think that the newer hams would be able to acces the
repeater because the radios they got after passing the test are handhelds and only put out 5W (I tried to with my VX-7 and barely made it).
So unless we teach them how to build a beam or they get a bigger rig, I think a lot of them wouldn't be able to participate in the activity. As far as a net control op goes, if no one else would like to, I guess I could. The net would not just be for the newer hams but for anyone who has a question about any aspect of amatuer radio. I would also like to start a net for any one who has an HF setup on 10 or 12 meters if there is anyone interested.
An off the subject question, but does anyone do antenna modeling and would they have any hits for a beginner?

Hi all,

The Wednesday night net on the 146.895 could certainly be used as an Elmer Net.
We talked the other evening about starting a Tech. Net or Elmer Net and i guess we are not the only ones to see a need.
We will just take questions and answers along with comments. I think we have enough knowledgeable hams on the net to help out.

What you all think?

I was just thinking about the Tech class that just tested Saturday, We should start a beginner/new ham net for those who
recently (or not so recently) got their license. We could use (with permission of course) the PF (or maybe even 10m) repeater since it has quite a wide coverage area.
Things that we could do are just getting them used to talking the on the radio and with setting up a base station (antenna, procedures, courtesy on the radio, and even with upgrading)? Just a thought.
