Had two good radio nets - the emergency communications one is always fun because whomever is Net Control for that session usually throws in some element of surprise so we have to figure out what it is and deal. Today was the last Sunday of the month so we operate on simplex - single frequency, you talk and say 'over' and a lot of the stations simply can not hear Net Control so you listen for those stations responding to their call and 30 seconds or so later, ask them if they can relay your checkin to Net Control. Needless to say, in my little mountain hamlet, I rely on relay a lot.
The second net is in the oceanside city of Blaine - a lot of people are involved in both nets.
There is an insomniacs net beginning at 11:00PM - I sometimes check in to that one but feeling a bit tired and tomorrow and Tuesday are busy so probably not going to.
Still organizing the garage and the radio room. The radio room is small and I have all of my electronics stuff out in the DaveCave© and want to move it into the house so Lulu can use the DaveCave© for an art studio.
