Net Control Officers needed.

[KC9SGV]

Hi All,

The Great Lakes Marine Mobile net has started up for the 2012 boating
season.
Interest for the net is running high and boaters everywhere around the
lakes are gearing up with licenses and equipment to contact the net.

We are in need of a few more GLMMNet Net Control Officers to help with
running the net, act as relay stations, and do general support
functions for the net.

This is an exciting and rewarding ham radio activity, especially for
those with a keen interest in boating.
Free boating opportinities and yacht club activities exist for those
hams who wish to help us on a regular basis for the season.

Please contact KC9SGV:

Hello all,

I would be interested in helping with your net, and supporting your mission.

  As a meteorologist with 30+ years of service, studying and teaching Great Lakes Weather (read, Lake Effect Weather)  and being a ham 40-ish years I think I have something to bring to the group.

Please advise your thoughts...

Hi Bob,

Please help....=)

Really, I mean it sincerely.

Your qualifications are excellent.

I truly believe that there is a niche for ham radio on the Great Lakes.

Especially with the vast, idle Ham radio infrastructure out there.

(HF enabled boats in marinas, VHF repeaters, Echolink and IRLP reflectors, and HF Remote stations.)

We need net control officers and relay stations and Met officers with a special knowledge of lake weather, lake conditions and marinas.

We have some ideas as to how to do this successfully, but nothing is written in stone.

All suggestions are very welcome and valuable as well.

Please start by contacting us (KC9SGV) via HF or Echolink or Skype during net times.

We are in our fourth year of operation and use Netlogger for the logging software.

Netlogger has a "back channel' AIM capability, which might be helpful at times.

Once the word is out there, this might become a very active net.

Hope to hear you at 08:30 Eastern tomorrow morning on 7.268 MHz LSB after the Waterway net.

Best 73,

Bernie DeKok
