Net</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been contacted by the P.E.P. asking to use
the ITS system for a weekly net.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>"</STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><STRONG>The purpose is to try and foster a bit of coms up & down
the Island <BR>between PEP and the other Emergency Program radio
operators. I propose <BR>a short 10-15 minute "check-in net" from
19:30-19:45 Wednesday nights, <BR>starting December 2 2009. I
propose we try running it for 2mos, to <BR>gauge the
response/participation, and then decide if its worth it to <BR>continue
after that period. We'd basically be asking for the "ERC" or
<BR>their deputy of the various groups up & down the island to check
in <BR>with their name & qth. And if there was any upcoming
exercises being <BR>run, or other news of interest everyone could
mention the details, so <BR>it can be a way of keeping emergency program
volunteers informed up & <BR>down the island. I realize some of the
Island Trunk system is on solar <BR>power and during winter, batteries
& light availability mean there is <BR>limited resources.
However I dont see this as being a long or <BR>protracted session every
Wednesday, thus it shouldn't be a drain on <BR>the system
resources."</STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
