[W2CRA] Inaugural Cherryville Relay Net 10/20

[Kurt Cathcart, KR2C]

All -


Please be advised that the Cherryville Repeater Association will conduct 
it's first Relay Net on Wednesday October 10 at 8:00pm.


Here is what you need to know to participate:

I will be acting as the Net Control Station (NCS).  At 8pm, I will start 
calling for check-ins on the club simplex frequency 147.52MHz.  We will 
operate FM.  Do not worry if you cannot hear me.  I will add the 
stations that I hear to the NetLogger logger program.  You can follow 
along if you have NetLogger running on your computer.

The Stations that I can hear will be added to the NetLogger app. Once I 
gather all the stations that I can hear, i will then ask each station 
that has checked in to one by one call out for additional check-ins on. 
If you cannot hear the 1st relay station either do not worry, you might 
be able to hear the second or third relay station.

As the first relay station calls out for check-in, they will relay the 
stations they have heard back to the NCS.  Once the first relay station 
collects that they can hear, they will turn it back to NCS.  The NCS wil 
do the same with the second relay station and progress through the 
relays.  Once all the stations that could be heard have checked in, we 
will close the net.

Please note that the only traffic that will be passed will be call sign 
and name.  This is not a net to pass any other traffic like we do on the 
Thursday net.

Also please note that my antenna will be vertically polarized.


If you plan to participate in the net, please let me know via email so 
that we can get a feel for interest in this net and so that the NCS can 
listen for you.
