My suggestion is to use the generic Tentec@contesting.com for Net
announcements. Don't do net announcements in the specific radio groups.

Maybe the answer is to start a specific Yahoo group for the Nets and

I don't know about others but I receive the TenTec email to learn about
tricks in operating and problems people are having but for the last
couple of months all I'm getting is net net net net net net net net net
net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net net. I'll
give another month then I'm GONE

Due to the complaints from the TEN-TEC Eagle operators, whom I can
count on both hands and coupled with the fact that only a total of 9
TEN-TEC Eagle radios checked into both the 40 meter and 20 meter SSB
nets this past Sunday, I have decided in the best interest of
Amateur Radio to drop the TEN-TEC Eagle Group from any of my future
postings about the TEN-TEC SSB nets.
Also, the TEC-TEC Eagle Group will no longer receive anymore
postings about the TEN-TEC Certificate Program, which was started by
Jim Wharton NO4A, Vice President, TEN-TEC, Inc.
Now for the future of the TEN-TEC nets: My many years as net control
for EAST CARS, the Maritime Net, the Christian Fellowship Net, the
Yaesu FT-2000 net and now the TEN-TEC 40 meter and 20 meter SSB
nets, I have gleaned a plethora of experience in handling pile-ups,
QRM, jamming and a myriad of other unexpected surprises during the nets.
I have learned to rely on various relay stations to pick up any weak
stations and the cooperation on the TEN-TEC nets has been superb.
This is what has made the TEN-TEC nets the envy of other groups on
the Amateur Radio bands. The bottom line is that all those who check
into the nets each Sunday are the ones that are directly responsible
for the outstanding success of the TEN-TEC nets.
When I took the initiative and resurrected the TEN-TEC nets in April
2012, after several years of no TEN-TEC nets, I just wanted to
gather a group of like-minded and level-headed
Amateur Radio Operators to discuss topics related to our hobby.
Little did I realize how the nets would grow and from April 2012 to
January 2013 (9 months)the TEN-TEC nets kept growing in popularity.
Then in January of this year I was approached by Jim Wharton NO4A,
Vice President TEN-TEC, Inc. and said that he would like to start a
certificate program for the faithful TEN-TEC supporters who
regularly check into the nets on Sunday.
Jim and I worked together and the new TEN-TEC Certificate Program
was inplemented on January 20th of this year. With new enthusiasm
the checkin totals started to increase each week and along with this
came the typical "Monday morning quarterbacks" who claimed that they
could "throw more touchdowns than John". Personal emails followed
with very derogatory remarks about me, my ethnic background, my
profession and my family.
What was posted on the various TEN-TEC Groups were mild compared to
the personal egregious emails that I have received.
When I started the TEN-TEC nets back up in April 2012, I had planned
to stay on as net control for 1 full year and then turn the net over
to someone else. Next month will be 1 full year for me as net
control of the 40 meter and 20 meter TEN-TEC nets.
In spite of the negativity that has been rampant, I have continued
to receive support from many of our TEN-TEC family and I have
decided to stay on a little longer as net control of both TEN-TEC
nets. For all of those who have already received your first TEN-TEC
Certificate and for the many hundredths more who will be getting
them, I will continue posting on the other 4 TEN-TEC Groups.
I want to thank Jay K0MU, for allowing me to use the Eagle Group for
the past year.
