Training Net - Message Passing Practice

Date: 06/20/23 Start: 8:30 PM End: 9:15 PM Location: Resource Net Repeaters
Credential Credit (What's this?): No

This is the monthly Training Net held on the third Tuesday of each month.

The training net will be be held on the Resource Net Repeaters (AA6BT 146.115, N6NAC 444.625, and W6ASH 145.270) which will be linked for the net.

This net will consist of passing 3rd party messages whose message forms are not familiar to the sender or receiver.  The messages will be beginner to intermediate level with the use of prowords.  Read the job description for the positions. We will take participants in the order noted. We'll also take check-ins to the net from everyone listening, and everyone will have an opportunity to ask questions.

Expected Difficulty: Easy to Difficult

It is recommended that you have taken the Message Passing Class to participate as a message sender or receiver; but, is not required if you have sufficient experience and understanding of SCCo message passing procedures, techniques and prowords, including the passing of unfamiliar forms. Message senders/receivers will be given a critique on their techniques and use of procedures.

It is anticipated that the messages will progress from easy to more difficult for each message sent.  The first message will be the easiest and the last more difficult. The messages will not be posted for the receivers to see before the practice.

While not required, sign ups are encouraged  Everyone is encouraged to copy the messages being sent for practice.

The following positions are available for this event. You can state your preference when you sign up for the event. The event coordinator will attempt to accommodate your request. Based on the event and its requirements, the event coordinator may move hams to positions other than those requested.
