The Purpose of the Monday Night Net:<\/u>
This is a BVARC supported and run 2 Meter Net on a very popular local repeater 146.94. All hams are welcome and are invited to check in. It is an information net to spread important club and Ham Radio news, tell hams about BVARC and BVARC web site and BVARC activities. And to inform folks how to join BVARC. Stations that are portable, mobile or fixed will be checking in. Some will stay around for the whole net, whereas others just wish to \u201ccheck in and out\u201d for the sake of a radio check and a listing on the net log. Again, all stations are welcome to be a part of the net or just a listing in the log.<\/p>

Directives for the NCS station:<\/u>
1.\u00a0 THANK YOU for taking the time to perform this very important job. The club appreciates it but so do the stations checking in. Keep in mind that this might be the first time these hams get on the air. So help them make the most of it.<\/p>

Prior to the net:<\/p>

  • Select one or two ham radio topics for discussion on the net or have an open ended discussion that is ham related. They can be how-to questions, ham radio news related or about an upcoming club activity, DX or band conditions. As long as it is relevant to the hobby.<\/li>
  • Please check the latest club newsletter for updates or information that you need for\u00a0tonight\u2019s net. i.e. club meeting dates and times, topics information, breaking news, contests,\u00a0<\/span>elections, how to join BVARC etc.:<\/span><\/li>
  • Read the script below before the net to become familiar with how the net is conducted.\u00a0<\/span>You do not have to follow the script word for word. Relax, this is a hobby. We do this for fun\u00a0<\/span>and enjoyment.<\/span><\/b><\/u><\/li><\/ul>

    2. Net start time is 8 PM. It is your choice to take early check-ins.<\/p>

    3. Log all checkins whether in for the duration of the net or just a check in (in and out)\u00a0for the log. After the net, e-mail the count of check-ins to Mike N5VCX at n5vcx@att.net<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
