Comm Log

Tonight, as indicated in my previous post, I was Net Control for the Olympia (Washington) Area ERC and the MARA West Cascades Chapter South Section Nets. For the uninitiated, both nets are loosely related to the LDS Church emergency preparation program. ERC stands for "Emergency Response Communications" and MARA stands for "Mercury Amateur Radio Association".

Here are the logs for both nets tonight. The letter after the call sign indicates the type of power (C=Commercial; B=Battery).

Comment:

KD7USW reported that KD7USY should probably be removed from the MARA SS roll call due to his being in Brazil for the next two years.

The ERC Net started at 20:30 local time (PST) and ended about 20:40. The MARA Net started at 21:15 and ended about 21:25. I had a brief conversation with KC7PAG after the end of each net, where we coordinated my sending the log for these nets to him via email.
