I'm thinking of starting a digital net on 30m. The purposes include jump-starting the 30m band and passing traffic. I'm surprised 30m is so empty, even when WWV is S9+ at 10 MHz. I thought that 30m spends more hours per day open than any other band. I think digital modes are a great way to pass traffic, yet there don't seem to be very many digital nets out there, traffic nets or otherwise. The low traffic volume on 30m does have an up side - less QRM from other stations.
I'd like to make the net similar to the Northern Virginia Traffic Net. There will be traffic handling and comments. I'd also like to have the net meet daily, though not necessarily at the same time each day of the week. I'm thinking of having the net in the early evening on weekdays and during the day on weekends. What do you think? Would you be interested in being net control? I can't be net control every day, because I will be busy on some days, and I am already responsible for being net control of another net I started 3 evenings per week. SIDE NOTE: I invite those of you in the Midwest to check into the VHF/UHF SSB net I started recently. It's a ragchew net called the Missing You Like Candy Net. The net meets on Tuesdays at 8PM on 432.110 MHz, Fridays at 8PM on 144.190 MHz, and Saturdays at 6PM on 50.140 MHz. Jason Hsu, AA0II Cedar Rapids, IA Need a Digital mode QSO?
