Skyler, While I would take the position that "nets" can be the greatest "asset" of the allstar network, to better practice "linking with a purpose" as well as providing great information and Q&A to hams, I have found the following to be true. It does take some dedicated person(s) to stay the test of time. Many a net start-up and live 3 months to a year. It does take participation of others or a well thought-out presentation to keep it going. Most of the time, everyone can not just listen or your work as net control grows. As we all know, Ham Radio participation keeps shrinking. Much because most of the things we do now-a-days can be easily duplicated on the internet without a license and without a major expense. If you remember, I asked for the same info a year ago and you were the only response I achieved and your Colorado Satellite Net was posted on the database of "interesting nets for all consumption" at lhlinkup.com Having listened to your net for the past year, I think you have done a good job trying to keep it together but you might consider doing it once a month instead of once a week. It does seem that there is not enough material for it to be weekly and it causes a lack of interest from those participating. I have been contemplating a once a month tech net that perhaps we can work together on in the future if you have an interest. Once a month gives you time to gather speakers and info to keep it interesting and increase participation. Just my thoughts, ...mike/kb8jnm
I have an AllStar node on a repeater clubs repeater.
There isn't much traffic, and they think it is too much of a private repeater where I just use it. To promote use of the AllStar repeater, they have requested I air a variety of nets.
What nets that have AllStar link do you guys recommend?
So far, all I have is my net on Thursday at 7:00 PM MST and the Astronomy net at 7:00 PM MST. By the way, if anybody wants to link to my amateur satellite net on Thursday, its node 40764.
If there isn't one, there should be an AllStar net.
Thanks for suggestions Skyler KDÃWHB _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
