Our 2 meter net meets EVERY Wednesday at 8:00 PM (local time) on the clubs repeater system network. These are good training grounds for potential
emergency situations as well as helping new hams in the area to have an easy way to get use to “talking on the radio”!
Our club website (www.bigbendarc.com) has all the information about our 2 meter net. This includes the Net Control members schedule, the “script”
(supplied only as a guide to insure that the important information is given out weekly – you can use it anyway you see fit) and a list of the recent
check-in members.
If you have an interest in joining the NET CONTROL STATIONS as an operator, please call me (432/386-8052) or holler during the Wednesday Net.
We could really use a couple of extra hands to be NCS! The script and “check-in roster” are both posted on the club website for you to download and
use as a NCS!
The month of April we had four (4) Wednesday’s, and it went this way:
Date Check-ins Net Control Station
Apr 7 28 N5BBJ – Bruce
Apr 14 22 W5RHN – Bob
Apr 21 20 KF5KMA – Dan
Apr 28 25 KA5PVB – Chuck
monthly total – 95 check-ins
A HEARTY THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN SUPPORT OF OUR NET ACTIVITIES!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t have the time to check-in to the net and participate in the round-table discussion, take a minute of your time and check-in as an “in-and-
out” (you’re in for the head count, but not participating in the actual net). ALL participation is appreciated and encouraged!
Echo-Link System check-ins are as follows:
KI5JTB – Rachel from San Marcos, TX. 3 times.
KI5RIC – Ric from Ruidoso, NM.
KG5HEJ – Al from Terlingua, TX. 3 times

I want to specifically thank our six (6) Net Control stations for all of their efforts on behalf of the club’s 2 meter net for the entire year. It just wouldn’t
have happened if you were NOT there! Our Net Control Stations are:
KF5KMA – Dan, KG5LMG – Marvin, N5BBJ – Bruce, W5RHN – Bob, KI5ANQ – Scott and KI5EXF – Sharon.
When you see them, thank them for all their efforts for the 2 meter net.
73,
Chuck Dobbins – KA5PVB
2 meter Net Manager
