The latest ARES Letter had a short mention of various software packages for
NCO's.  Since the QNI reports I get from the WMA ARES NCS's is apparently
created by hand, I thought you might like to see one example of software
that can make your life easier.

Net Control Manager <https://net-control.us/> looks like the easiest to use
- it runs in your web browser.  From their on-line help page
<https://net-control.us/help.php>:

"The Net Control Manager (NCM) program was designed to make Amateur Radio
Net check-ins, management of net resources and net reporting easier and
more efficient than using pen and paper. This is not meant however to be a
replacement for pen and paper, which will always be your best backup should
something go wrong.

The NCM is designed to make ARES, RACES and other EM net logging and
reporting as easy and intuitive as possible. But of course works perfectly
with your weekly club social net as well. Its many features are aimed
squarely at these ideas."


Tools like these can make the NCS job easier - if anyone gives them a try,
or is using them currently, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts.
