Small steps. This guy is trying to do something, ANYTHING, and can't even get an answer. If anything else were to happen, it would have to build from some base like this. I guess there is just no oomph in anybody to actually even attempt participating. Well @JDL , you tried.Can someone PM me if an actual NES net stands up? I'm unsubbing this thread, if I wanted to know who was chatting on a repeater, I would tune my radio to it.
It is to early to try and set up a NES net right now. At this point I was just trying to find a repeater that as many NES members are able to hit and once we find that repeater to set up an informal chat group QSO. For some reason there are very few that want to partisapate based on the fact no one seems to be responding. How could we even start to put together a net with net protocol and a net administrator if we have no NES members participating.
Yeah, this thread got a little sidetracked on repeaters.HF.....Below 30mhz.
Toss a dipole up in a couple of trees and get on the air.
Then start a thread about your local 2m repeaters, this thread was started for an HF net necessitating a general license.I was only thinking about repeaters because not every NES member has a genral licence.
Line of sight tool if you want to play around and see why you can(not) reach certain repeaters. This is why I can't hit Paxton - behind two small hills within a few miles of my station.
