Training Net - Message Passing Practice

Date: 02/19/19 Start: 8:30 PM End: 9:15 PM Location: Resource Net Repeaters

This is the monthly Message Passing 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 440.800) which will be linked for the net.

This net will consist of the sending of ICS-213 messages.  The messages will be beginner level with some simple prowords.  Up to 2 messages will be sent and received by volunteers who sign up for the sender and receiver positions. Read the job description for the positions. We will take participants in the order noted of #1 and then #2.

An all stations message will be sent at the end with everyone encouraged to practice copying it.

Expected Difficulty: Easy

It is recommended that you have taken the Message Passing class to participate as an active participant 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. Message senders/receivers will be given a critique from the moderator on their techniques and use of procedures.  If you are ok with additional critiques/comments from others on the net they will be solicited.

Anyone wishing to receive pre-event communications (plans for the net, advance look at messages to be used, etc.) should sign up. While not required, sign ups are encouraged  You are encouraged to copy the messages being sent for practice.

Several blank ICS-213's will be needed.
