The net begins at 7pm and any newly licensee's are encourged to check in with their name, GMRS call Sign, and a general location.. Thne any other licensed operators are invited to join.
We begin by going thru the checkins one on one and asking some general questions designed to relax and encourage talking on the air.
We will then begin alternating between the textbook subject matter and stations to review some of the basics of radio ediquitte such as accepted terms, FCC regulations, setting up your base station, antenna design etc. The textbook pdf is available at the link below for those who would like to follow along.
The net duration varies on how much interaction there is and the subject matter covered. Typicall we can go from 30min to 1 hour or more in rare case.
If someone has an issue to work thru we will work on it for as long as it takes..
