I am canceling the net December 22, 2020. With Christmas this week and folks traveling, I figured there would be poor attendance.
I will be holding the ERIN net on Tuesday December, 29, 2020 due to propagation issues 75-meters looks like it will be perfect tonight for all stations from Toronto, CN. to Jax FL.
After the 75-meter net there will be a Fldigi net on 3580 USB Cont 4/250 1000 on the Waterfall if you would like to give it a try. Depending on the phone net at 1900 hrs ET, the FLDIGI net will start at about 1930 hrs ET or a tad bit later.
This net is being put together for you folks to check out your HF communication, communicate with like minded folks, and adjust comms where needed in preparation on what is coming country wide in December 2020. This net will be weekly on Tuesday evenings and depending on need may be expanded to additional days/nights.
The agenda for this net is to check in, get signal reports, get a general idea of the AO of each check-in, report any information if you have any concerning AntiFa or BLM, etc. more like a QSO.

Emergency Text. Do I have your cell number? PM me if you want my cell number.
I am not aware of how busy this frequency or near-by frequencies will be so, I suspect we will be moving up the band to find clean air. Be prepared. Hopefully if we move, I will post the new frequency in real time here.
If you are new to the net please read the rules of engagement below and be prepared to make your report as outlined below too.
1) I will be on frequency 15-minutes before the net starts for pre-check-ins. If there is a lot of splatter or someone is using this frequency, move on up the band till you hear the group. I will try to post the new frequency on this thread.
2) I will call CQ followed by my call and "this is net control for the ERIN Daily Net". It would be great if folks could check in early so not to have a mad rush at the start of the net. If you are late to the net, no worries. I will ask for additional check-ins several times during the net. PLEASE wait till I do this.
3) The net is a "directed net" which means; check-in and do not talk till net control calls your call.
4) Once a station makes their report and you have a question or want to make a comment say "CONTACT". Net control will recognize you and either let you ask your question or make your comment IF there is no other priority traffic waiting. Be patient.
5) After the net is closed people may want to stay on air and use the frequency to ragchew which is great and I will probably join in. With that written, the reason for this net is to share information not ragchew. Save that for after the net.
If you have any questions or wish to make a comment, use this thread.
* It is encouraged that if you hear someone and net control obviously can not, say CONTACT. Once recognized say "I have traffic for insert call sign here this is insert your call sign here". As an example: "I HAVE TRAFFIC FROM KA7FOX THIS IS KC3LRS".
