A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
W6CCN is a late night net.
The net begins at 9 pm on the west coast and 10 pm in much of our territory.
Much of our membership is composed of early rising working people or retired
people in their 8th
decade or better. Taking net control duty for either of these
two groups for an open-ended late night
net is mostly a non-starter.
In an attempt
to generate more interest in net control volunteers, the officers have made a
unanimous
decision. Net control duty will now be for one hour.
No net control should feel obligated to carry the
net beyond one hour.
For a one hour net, read the post-amble at 5 minutes before the hour.
Then make a last call for check
ins, closing the net near the top of the hour.
Should the net control decide he/she wants to stay on the net longer, please
announce at 5 minutes to
the hour your intention to remain on the net for check ins.
It is our hope that with a no-guilt one hour net commitment we can attract some
vastly needed net
controls, without shortening the net for any net control with
the night time to hang in there until all
check ins are exhausted.
Long live the Western Country Cousins,
Jim
