[ITS-EXEC] Proposed ITS Net

[Ronald Boney]

Good idea. Perhaps we should get PEP to contact the Gamming commission in
support our grant application which in turn supports the ITS.

  Subject: [ITS-EXEC] Proposed ITS Net


  I have been contacted by the P.E.P. asking to use the ITS system for a
weekly net.

  "The purpose is to try and foster a bit of coms up & down the Island
  between PEP and the other Emergency Program radio operators. I propose
  a short 10-15 minute "check-in net" from 19:30-19:45 Wednesday nights,
  starting December 2 2009.  I propose we try running it for 2mos, to
  gauge the response/participation, and then decide if its worth it to
  continue after that period.  We'd basically be asking for the "ERC" or
  their deputy of the various groups up & down the island to check in
  with their name & qth.  And if there was any upcoming exercises being
  run, or other news of interest everyone could mention the details, so
  it can be a way of keeping emergency program volunteers informed up &
  down the island. I realize some of the Island Trunk system is on solar
  power and during winter, batteries & light availability mean there is
  limited resources.  However I dont see this as being a long or
  protracted session every Wednesday, thus it shouldn't be a drain on
  the system resources."

  I personally think this would be a great way to utilize the ITS system.
Please let me know if anyone or group has any comments regarding the
proposed net. Unless there are any objections from any group, the net will
be on the ITS as described above. Please advise all within your club or
group should they wish to participate.

  Thanks
