The “Over The Hill Commute Group Net” http://www.othcg.net/
This is an informal directed net. The purpose of the net is a place where new or old HAM Radio Operators can meet and get to know each other. There are no topics. You can talk about most anything. It is a way to get to know each other.
We have a list of regular check-ins. You can join the list by contacting W7DVR. Because it is in the morning, many check-ins may be during a commute. They may hear the same people talking during their commute. Check the time and let the net manager Doug W7DVR know where you would like to be added to the list.
If you have not checked in for a long time, you may be removed from the list. You may be added to the list again when you want and are able to check in often.
Helpful Information:
1: Please keep your comments in the range of, not much more than 3 minutes.
2: Please keep in mind there is a Net Control operator. This person is in control and please respect the order they would like to have the net run. They will call the call signs of the next person to check in. They will try to leave a short time between calls for someone to break in, if needed. Please just give your call sign and they will respond to you. Please don’t try to jump in between calls and start talking. When this happens, often you and someone else will be talking at the same time and it may be that no one can be heard.
3: Please follow the FCC rules and be sure to ID at the end of your time. Many times, people will make a comment or end their time and forget to ID. It is not the Net Control’s responsibility to remind you to give your call.
4: Please do your best to be courteous and kind.
Any comments or complaints can be sent to Doug W7DVR at: d@w7dvr.com
