Interesting development, John.
With more than 80 hams on frequency, the net closes before everyone can
get checked in. So, instead of accommodating them, you will further
restrict participation by transforming the Net into a question-answer
forum, as if the multiple internet forums you mention are insufficient
for the task. (Are all that many TT owners having that many problems
we need an on-air clinic?)
This is hardly good news for those seeking to achieve the TenTec Net
Certificate. My Sunday afternoon schedule has finally cleared up, but
now I won't even attempt to check in because I have no problems to
solve, and have limited qualifications for helping others.
The day John Henry graced our presence, at least one operator wasted
time asking questions about the new QRP gear TT offers for sale, all of
which are answered on the TT web site.
But don't mind me... I am just crying in my beer because I naively
thought a TT Net could allow me to briefly contact some of the fellers
from this group who helped me get started in ham radio, including,
without including everyone, Gary, Bob, Rick, Jim B, Stuart, Dan, and
many others. Apparently, I have the wrong idea for it.
That's just MY take... after all, it is YOUR net, and you know best.
