Ok, here is the info and starting agenda for the NET tomorrow. 6pm Pacific Standard Time
Node is KJ7BHN (my personal) and we are going to open it up to 20 members if we get that many. This will be for one time only and if we get enough interest, which is building up, then I have secured a conference servers for us. Brian and Jim from USA-GNG which is know for the GritsNGravy conference has agreed to host us and also promote us on their website. @ru108 is going to be controller of this NET if he can get some things worked out on his Echolink. We have a Script and it will be roundtable. Here is rough agenda
Control intro with instruction of NET
Check in by members with call sign and OB ID or member number
Turn over to Brent to go over rough ideas of how future net should look and solicit ideas.
Have each member to 2 min intro of themselves. Where located, history of getting into overlanding etc.
Open discussion or announcements
Close Net
Remember that all Ham radio rules apply to NET and there can be no business solicitation. Need to keep it personal in nature as with all Ham Radio. Let me know if I missed something and we can add. Also remember that this is a test NET and there will be bugs to work out and things to fix. Looking forward to hearing everyone that can attend tomorrow night.

Sounds good. There should be as we think we can handle up to 35 but limited to 20 this time. We don't have 20 members on list yet so should be no problem. Thanks for the interest.

Is there a node number for someone dialing in from an actual radio to a linked radio?

@Brentc17 Awsome work, sir! Sorry I’ve been out of the loop this evening. The monthly club meeting was tonight and I just got home. Worked a 12, long meeting then an hour drive home. I’m pretty well whipped right now.
I did get It running on my laptop ONCE earlier today, but nothing since, so I’ll work on it more in the morning. Worse case, I think I should be able to handle it on my phone. It might be a bit clunky and slow, but we’ll see. If it gets too aggravating, I’ll turn it over to you for the remainder of the net. I also found a logging program, so I’m going to play with that and see if it is better than handwritten.
Basically, we’re going to be experimental from start to finish tomorrow, so to everyone else reading this, please bear with me and I’ll do my best. This will also be my first time as Net Control, so try not to laugh me off the air. [emoji23]

Sounds good. We are all going to learn and test it together. Nobody is going to have a problem with it. I have made contact over Echolink with a couple of members over last couple of days and everyone seems eager to help and learn as we go. Thanks for doing this and keep us posted on how computer vs phone proceeds tomorrow. I will be online and ready about an hour before NET if we need to test anything.

No, but you need to have a computer with sound and mic built in. If not then yes but most computers or laptops have it included. You can also use APP on phone. If you need to test, I am online right now and you can connect up and test

You'll find plenty of grumpy old men in ham radio. Don't let us discourage you.[emoji6] [emoji106]

Add me to the list of interested, please, Brent. KG5JLP. My son has a swim meet this evening, so I may not make it, but I'll give it the ol' college try.

OK. I'm pretty sure I've got it worked out AND up and running on my laptop. Works on the test server, so.... Sorry to yell, but, I HATE WINDOWS 10!!! Looking forward to tonight.

No worries. We'll probably be on for at least a good hour working out the kinks and making plans, so you should be good to join in when you can. If not, then we'll send you the CliffsNotes, lol.
