W0NE Winlink net - Summer Haitus?

 

Hi Everyone,

I've noticed check-ins have decreased a bit with the nicer summer weather.? That's completely understandable as we all probably have more important things going on.

I have the same issue. My daughter has softball games in Wednesday evenings now which has been taking up the time I had previously used to put exercises together.? I have a few ideas on how to proceed:

1.? Change the net to a different day of the week. (Open to suggestions)

2.? Continue the Thursday nets through the summer, but stick to basic check-ins until the beginning of September.

3.? Go on hiatus until the beginning of September.

Please let me know what you all think.

I prefer your second option of keeping it on Thursday but sticking to just basic check-ins. My concern about the third option is that it would give me too much temptation?to let my skills get rusty. I love the weekly push to get on the air so my skills don't atrophy.

Thanks for organizing us,
Chris - KD9CZM

Hello Ben and the group¡­

?

My first choice is also #2.? ??We could vary the forms, etc. but always include the basic info.? The choice of the forms or templates could

be an individual thing, not directed by you Ben.? Also, we can give you as much time as you need to compile the list of check-ins and not

necessarily be looking for the results on that following Friday or even Saturday.

?

Ultimately the decision should really be yours Ben.? You have the young family, and it is summer.

?

Take care¡­73,

?

Ken W9GM

Ben and the group-

I respectfully suggest that the net remain active, we use just a simple message for check in with one line of information. ?The net could remain open for a whole week which would allow your participants time to check in when they can, not just in a 24- hour period.

another option would be for you to assign the net control duties to participants that would be interested in the practice as Net Control Operator and it could give you a break. It would be good practice to have a back-up Net Control Operator on stand-by as a norm anyway.?


respectfully,
Martin Wilt, W2ILT
