Asking for volunteers to be NCS stations for MEMA nets

*********************************************

We have excellent participation in the MEMA nets:  thank you so much for
your efforts!

We usually have two NCS stations available for each net which allows us to
operate even if one NCS station is unavailable.

BUT:

- while we have excellent practice and participation in the nets

- in an emergency having only two experienced NCS station for each net
risks our availability of NCS stations, and without NCS stations, there is
no net

We need more NCS stations.  We will train!

Please if you would like to help please contact me!
