[TCARC-NTX] TCARC Net

Dan,

We are all in this hobby to learn, when you quit learning you are, well
dead.  It takes a while to get used to the nets and it can be nerve-racking
at times, especially when there are several noisy signals you have to
contend with.  Don't get worried or upset, it takes a while for us all to
learn the business.

Thank,
Paul

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

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

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