Are you N1M something? Heard that on Paxton (CMARA).
I heard something on Monson one also, but it sounded like a lady.

Could you do both again?

Thanks

That was not me on Paxton on the CMARA maybe I sound like a lady on the Monson, However I have never heard a woman on the Monson Repeater. I will try again right my call is M1HM however I almost alway call it out Phoinically November one Hotel Mike calling on monson now
 
N1HM is probably what I heard. Was it on Monson or Paxton? Listening to both right now.

Would also like to try Warren as a middle ground.

Can someone PM me if an actual NES net stands up? I'm unsubbing this thread, if I wanted to know who was chatting on a repeater, I would tune my radio to it.

Small steps. This guy is trying to do something, ANYTHING, and can't even get an answer. If anything else were to happen, it would have to build from some base like this. I guess there is just no oomph in anybody to actually even attempt participating. Well @JDL , you tried.
 
It is to early to try and set up a NES net right now. At this point I was just trying to find a repeater that as many NES members are able to hit and once we find that repeater to set up an informal chat group QSO. For some reason there are very few that want to partisapate based on the fact no one seems to be responding. How could we even start to put together a net with net protocol and a net administrator if we have no NES members participating.

HF.....Below 30mhz.

Toss a dipole up in a couple of trees and get on the air.
 
Just to chime in, I'm interested in some sort of net or even a 'watch' frequency to monitor when I'm by the radio. I am not able to hit any of the central / western MA repeaters that have been discussed lately. I have no issue with sharing my call, N1MHD, not sure why that would be an issue for some but yes, it does put one 'out there' identity-wise.
 
Yes it did get side tracked only because it seems no one wants to put a HF anything togather I have tryed befor and it never got off the ground. It shifted to repeaters because maybe more would partisapate. That never happend so this HF Net issue is dead.
I am sighing off N1HM
 
Like I said, you need to take some small steps first. I totally get what JDL was doing, and attempted to help. It looks like he's right, nobody else really interested in doing any of the legwork or steps to advance the idea.
 
There should be traffic on repeaters today with all the snow/weather. We have a weather net on Greylock right now.

ARES/Skywarn net.
 
For those of you wanting to do a "NES HF NET", why not try to take advantage of what framework is already existing out there for ham radio contacts? Just say hi, and listen a while. Maybe after 5 or 10 or 20 guys come on there and say "Hi, I'm whoever, and hello to my NES friends." they will ask if maybe you want to start your own "NET", or maybe, if you are club members, you could ask them if there is an open time to do something like this.

Anyhow, George's is on again in less than 10 minutes.

7:30 George's Old Timers Net

Starts at 7:30. Been listening off and on to this for the past 2 weeks or so. Seems to be the same people over and over, even though they ask if anybody new wants to be on. It would be REALLY interesting to me if I heard a bunch of new voices on there, especially all at once. Think some of you...
