Rodney, and the clubI am a long long time BVARCer, but I am not a BVARC board
member, and I have never beennet control..
I agree with your points!I think the club needs to refresh the outline and
goals for the monday night net.
Years ago it was more fun... The same net controller DWAYNE (KB5YTA) used
to do the net EVERY MONDAY..
Now I think they rotate and its once a month...
I can remember Dwayne pulling in 80 or nearly 90 checkins each net... It was a
ritual to get checked in on the monday night net.
Nowdays we are lucky to get 20ish checkins...
And your points may be part of the problem!!
The net has changed...
My wife as well (KF5GWZ) told me to check her in last night... I didnt bother
doing sonor did I check myself in....
Don't lay it all on Dwayne, he is a volunteer, he is doing what he thinks is
good.. We are lucky to have volunteers like Dwayne...
Thanks for voicing your opinions..Maybe these messages will change things..
Dont give up.. !!

So I have an issue here about tonight's Net Control management.
He starts off the check-ins basically saying that if you don't have anything to
contribute, don't bother checking in. Then later in the transmissions he
basically said to one check-in that he didn't want "check-ins, and outs".
BVARC Team, this is not right. Many people want to check in to register their
monitoring of the net. Many of them just want to listen and LEARN. I had my
General Class wife all set up to check in for the first time. After she heard
that, she just went into the next room. She wants to drop her membership now.
I don't think some board members will really care. I know one wont. And
telling the one person that he was dis-invited from doing a "Check-in, Check
out" was out of line in my opinion. He probably just wanted to be a part of
the BVARC team. Do you seriously think he will contribute in the future after
that embarrassment?
If BVARC wants new members, or to retain current members, we need to be more
inclusive, and allow new members to at least try to be inclusive. We are not a
military operation. I served, and know the difference. We are a club of Hams
that want to have fun.
Please straighten this out, or post your rules for what any Hams can, or cannot
say in check-ins. But please, lighten up, and allow new Hams to become happily
participating members.

Meetings
August Ice Cream Social -- Delayed until October
Due to the rise in Delta variant cases and erring on the side of caution, the

together for a few months. So instead........

Zoom Meeting -- Presentation will be about the National Traffic System (NTS)

possibility of amateur radio activation. Understanding the basics on traffic
handling and passing messages is knowledge to keep in your back pocket.
