Starting new nets could open accessibility to less-served members.
Following up on June President's Message is the idea of regional, rather than national, nets. While a regional net would not necessarily enhance participation for existing EchoLink or IRLP Net operations, it could open net accessibility to our members whose HF transceivers have limited power output, or those who operate VHF/UHF where there are no IRLP repeaters.
Those who would like to take on the challenge of starting a regional TALARC net and acting as net control, either HF or VHF/UHF, please contact Bill Sloan, NZ9S, at the Legion National Headquarters via email: k9tal@legion.org. Let him know your idea for a particular region, what might be the best time/day schedule for you, and whether you'd like to try HF or VHF/UHF.
