May 2025 Tuesday Night ERIN Nets SOI
« on: May 03, 2025, 11:16:59 AM »
The next ERIN(2) net will be Tuesday May 27, 2025, starting at 1900 hrs. eastern with the digital ERIN net.

The PACE for the digital net is as follows,

1) At 1900E hrs. digital net (NCS is usually on frequency at 1850E hrs.) will commence.

Primary         7.110 Mhz SB Contestia 4/250, 1000 on the Waterfall
Alternate       3.588 Mhz USB Contestia 4/250, 1000 on the Waterfall
Contingency  This email thread
Emergency    Signal(1). Do I have your cell phone number?

When the Net Control Station (NCS) calls for check-in's this is the reporting format,

de your call, your call/name/location/W-TFC or No-TFC/ de your call

All traffic (TFC) will be passed via MFSK32. I suggest using the FLmsg ICS-213 or the AmRRON Custom forms.

NCS will convert mode from C-4/250 (Contestia 4/250) to MFSK32 and then instruct check-ins one at a time to pass TFC.

Once TFC is complete, NCS will return mode back to C-4/250 for the wrap up of the QSO.

At 2000E hrs. there will be a voice (phone) net

2) At 2000E hrs. (I am typically on frequency at 1950E hrs.) will commence.

Primary         7.193 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air
Alternate       3.898 Mhz LSB or higher till clean air
Contingency  This email thread
Emergency    Signal(1). Do I have your cell phone number?

The above SOI will be used at first, if the interwiz is taken down through Executive Order -- Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions. Then we will develop and share a revised SOI.

73 & God Bless,

Quote
(1) The Signal App is being used instead of text for emergency's. Go to my post, When The Interwize Goes Dark, for an explanation.
     
(2) A quick history of ERIN (Eastern, Region, Information, Network). Just after President Trump declared a state of emergency, March 2020, I was asked by NC Scout (Brushbeater.org) to NCS a Covid-19 net, as we were worried that misinformation, intentional or unintentional, was coming out of the main stream media. The net was five days a week, Monday through Friday and it was a voice net (phone).

June of the same year, the net was reduced to three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. By August it was reduced to one day a week, Tuesday evening's at 2000E Hrs. phone only.

As digital grew in popularity, I introduced a digital net at 1900E Hrs. the same night starting in 2021.

These two nets have been every Tuesday night since January 2021 with only a few interruptions thanks to the NCS volunteers.

The purpose of these nets is to do the following,

     > Fellowship, connect hams with other hams,
     > Testing of equipment and alternate modes,
     > Pass traffic concerning ones AO. Traffic typically consists of,
        - Localized weather report if out of the ordinary.
        - Fuel availability & prices, petrol/Diesel.
        - Civil unrest if any.
        - Unusual Military movement if any.
        - Other interesting local news.
      > Training. To help hams become more confident in TXing & RXing, practice being a NC or ANC station, and
          all other that
          applies to prepare for a localized or national drama, and
      > Serve as a conduit to connect hams who have radio equipment to sell or looking for.

Thanks to Hope here on UP, attached is the script for the 2000 hrs. phone net. Still looking for a NCS or two to back me up for NCS duties. 

I want to thank all the hams that regularly participate on these nets. I am looking for NCS (Net Control Station) volunteers, in case one day I am hit by a bus.  :D

Though thunderstorms were roughly 100 miles away, making a racket, the digital net was good copy on all stations, here on the Chesapeake Bay of Virginia.  The stronf  FEC ( Forward Error Correction ) used in CONTESTIA and MFSK makes for good copy under poor conditions.
