We just finished the Foothill net on 146.510 and in the post net round table we were discussing how to get our numbers up. Part of that discussion turned to a question about how many nets our members listen to or participate in.
Some only do the Foothill net. I fear that they will not be adequately trained ina real disaster. We decided that next week we will as people to tell us, when they check in, how many nets they listen to or check into.
Here in Salt Lake we have lots of ham radio nets. Here are a few of the ones that do a weekly net and offer training or ham radio information as a part of their net.
