<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The request was from the Vancouver Island PEP
Amateur radio coordinator. In his request he stated that they were very aware
that <FONT size=4><STRONG><U>our</U></STRONG></FONT> sites were solar power.
They realize that they are visitors on our system. He said it would be on trial
for 2 months. If there is a problem the net could be suspended or
cancelled.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I don't see a problem with this as long as they don't get

<DIV>I'm curious who originated the request?</DIV>

Group <<A
href="mailto:its-exec@bcwarn.net">its-exec@bcwarn.net</A>><BR><BR>> I
have been contacted by the P.E.P. asking to use the ITS system <BR>> for a
weekly net.<BR>> <BR>> "The purpose is to try and foster a bit of
coms up & down the <BR>> Island <BR>> between PEP and the
other Emergency Program radio operators. I <BR>> propose <BR>> a
short 10-15 minute "check-in net" from 19:30-19:45 Wednesday <BR>>
nights, <BR>> starting December 2 2009. I propose we try
running it for <BR>> 2mos, to <BR>> gauge the
response/participation, and then decide if its worth <BR>> it to
<BR>> continue after that period. We'd basically be asking for
<BR>> the "ERC" or <BR>> their deputy of the various groups up
& down the island to check <BR>> in <BR>> with their name
& qth. And if there was any upcoming <BR>> exercises being
<BR>> run, or other news of interest everyone could mention the <BR>>
details, so <BR>> it can be a way of keeping emergency program
volunteers informed <BR>> up & <BR>> down the island. I
realize some of the Island Trunk system is on <BR>> solar <BR>>
power and during winter, batteries & light availability mean <BR>>
there is <BR>> limited resources. However I dont see this as
being a long <BR>> or <BR>> protracted session every Wednesday,
thus it shouldn't be a drain <BR>> on <BR>> the system
resources."<BR>> <BR>> I personally think this would be a great way to
utilize the ITS <BR>> system. Please let me know if anyone or group has any
comments <BR>> regarding the proposed net. Unless there are any objections
from <BR>> any group, the net will be on the ITS as described above. Please
<BR>> advise all within your club or group should they wish to
participate.<BR>> <BR>> Thanks<BR>> Roger<BR>> VA7RS</DIV>
