[TenTec] SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Wed Mar 20 17:12:02 EDT 2013

Maybe the answer is to start a specific Yahoo group for the Nets and anyone
wanting to be in the loop can subscribe?

I don't know about others but I receive the TenTec email to learn about
tricks in operating and problems people are having but for the last couple
of months all I'm getting is net net net net net net net net net net net net
net net net net net net net net net net net net net.  I'll give another
month then I'm GONE

THIS IS JERRY  WA2TTI  THAT'S TEN TEN INC    to say I own a few is an
understatement

Due to the complaints from the TEN-TEC Eagle operators, whom I can count on
both hands and coupled with the fact that only a total of 9 TEN-TEC Eagle
radios checked into both the 40 meter and 20 meter SSB nets this past
Sunday, I have decided in the best interest of Amateur Radio to drop the
TEN-TEC Eagle Group from any of my future postings about the TEN-TEC SSB
nets.

Also, the TEC-TEC Eagle Group will no longer receive anymore postings about
the TEN-TEC Certificate Program, which was started by Jim Wharton NO4A, Vice
President, TEN-TEC, Inc.

Now for the future of the TEN-TEC nets: My many years as net control for
EAST CARS, the Maritime Net, the Christian Fellowship Net, the Yaesu FT-2000
net and now the TEN-TEC 40 meter and 20 meter SSB nets, I have gleaned a
plethora of experience in handling pile-ups, QRM, jamming and a myriad of
other unexpected surprises during the nets.

I have learned to rely on various relay stations to pick up any weak
stations and the cooperation on the TEN-TEC nets has been superb. This is
what has made the TEN-TEC nets the envy of other groups on the Amateur Radio
bands. The bottom line is that all those who check into the nets each Sunday
are the ones that are directly responsible for the outstanding success of
the TEN-TEC nets.

When I took the initiative and resurrected the TEN-TEC nets in April 2012,
after several years of no TEN-TEC nets, I just wanted to gather a group of
like-minded and level-headed

Amateur Radio Operators to discuss topics related to our hobby.

Little did I realize how the nets would grow and from April 2012 to January
2013 (9 months)the TEN-TEC nets kept growing in popularity. Then in January
of this year I was approached by Jim Wharton NO4A, Vice President TEN-TEC,
Inc. and said that he would like to start a certificate program for the
faithful TEN-TEC supporters who regularly check into the nets on Sunday.

Jim and I worked together and the new TEN-TEC Certificate Program was
inplemented on January 20th of this year. With new enthusiasm the checkin
totals started to increase each week and along with this came the typical
"Monday morning quarterbacks" who claimed that they could "throw more
touchdowns than John". Personal emails followed with very derogatory remarks
about me, my ethnic background, my profession and my family. 

What was posted on the various TEN-TEC Groups were mild compared to the
personal egregious emails that I have received.

When I started the TEN-TEC nets back up in April 2012, I had planned to stay
on as net control for 1 full year and then turn the net over to someone
else. Next month will be 1 full year for me as net control of the 40 meter
and 20 meter TEN-TEC nets.

In spite of the negativity that has been rampant, I have continued to
receive support from many of our TEN-TEC family and I have decided to stay
on a little longer as net control of both TEN-TEC nets. For all of those who
have already received your first TEN-TEC

Certificate and for the many hundredths more who will be getting them, I
will continue posting on the other 4 TEN-TEC Groups.

I want to thank Jay K0MU, for allowing me to use the Eagle Group for the
past year.
