[TCARC-NTX] TCARC Net

Sorry about last night, I wasn't too prepared and it showed, plus I am
new to the ham business.  I hope that I can learn how to do it better
before I take it on again.  I didn't even get a copy of the call signs
given, I can't write as fast a some talk.  Maybe I can be better some
day.  Sorry if it wasn't a good net.

The experience of a couple of recent nets prompts me to offer some
possible=20
guidance for net controls in running the Thursday night nets.  First,
let=20
us remember that the net is officially called "The Tri-County Amateur
Radio=20
Club Weekly Ragchew and Information Net."  In order for it to be a
ragchew=20
and information net, it is important to let those who check in ragchew
and=20
offer information.  Otherwise, it becomes a simple check in net, which
is=20
pointless as we are already aware that we have propagation.  When acting
as=20
net control, please ask each station for a comment.  Perhaps they have=20
something they want to offer for swap or sale.  Maybe they are looking
for=20
something or have a technical question.  You'll never know if you don't=20
ask.  We don't have to pay any extra if the net runs past 10=20
minutes.  Also, unless you are planning to offer some training, please=20
refrain from calling it a training net.  Those who wish to listen to=20
training nets with no training are welcome to listen to the 94 repeater
on=20
monday nights.  No need for us to duplicate that function.

David, perhaps you could post that Net Control check in sheet that you
gave=20
me several years ago.  It has the preamble and closing and all of that=20
stuff.  Very helpful in running the net.  I have several of the printed=20
sheets, but I don't have it in digital.

This is not intended as a flame, just trying to be helpful.  Ain't
nobody=20
born knowing how to do this stuff.
