in and out and check ins only do server a function.. several in fact.
if lets someone check in without answering al the goofy on the spot questions (unless he wants to) if might get someon on the mic that might not be prone to talk ormally on the 94 repeater ( or at all) it might increase the net COUNT… which doesn’t seem to be a big thing recently but in the past it was kind of exciting to get the checkin count up in the 30s, 40,s 60s, and probably higher, (also possibly enticing someone that might just be a lurker to grab his mic and use it!! ) and lastly, the more folks that check in show the BVARC club members that care and especially the ones involved in presenting the net that there are actually a lot of folks out there… a few years ago we could hardly get a net op, and then hardly anyone n frequency… I do agree with Ron on the early check ins.. if the net doesn’t start untill 7pm then how can they check in before it starts?? but we always make exceptions.. always have… Eddie (NU5K) From: BVARC [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Glenn via BVARC Sent: Monday, November 16, 2015 1:21 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Cc: [email protected]; K5HM Subject: Re: [BVARC] Monday night net Great idea Ron...I've never understood the "check in and out" thing.
