[W3GV] Monday evening D-STAR net at 9 PM - please check-in

[Ucdavid at aol.com]

Do you have a D-STAR rig?  Have you checked into the WPA Section  D-STAR
net in the past only to discover that it was largely populated by  out
of state D-STAR ops trying to check in and become frustrated by  having
to wait?  We've made a few changes and suspect you'll appreciate  how
smoothly the net flows now.

The new WPA Section D-STAR Net format  now calls for WPA Section
Stations first.  Only after the WPA stations  have checked in do we
begin to accept check-ins from operators outside of the  WPA Section. 
The result is a streamlined process for those that of us that  reside in
the WPA Section.  No more waiting.  With your "quick-Key"  (a momentary
key-up of your rig to transmit your call sign to the net - no  voice
transmission is necessary) the net control station will recognize  your
check-in and put you on the list for a round of comments.

So if  it's been a while since you participated in the WPA Section
D-STAR Net on  reflector REF063 Module C, please consider giving it
another try.  The  net starts at 9 PM every Monday night.  Most WPA
Section D-STAR  repeaters are linked to the reflector to allow
participation in the net as  well as general conversation among fellow
WPA Section D-STAR  ops.
