08/21/08 - ARRL SWDC TACTICAL TEAMS - WB4ZKA - Mike Pulley

You want to attend the ARRL Southwest District Convention, but you want to be part of the "in" group? You want to be useful, be included in the stories afterwards, and do something more interesting than just browsing the displays?


Nine team events have been opened to serve as hands-on hosts during the ARRL Southwest District Convention in September. Lots of people will need information, guidance and direction, and a helping hand.


We're looking for a few good hams.


This calls for hams willing to roll up your yellow shirt sleeves and help reduce the chaos and confusion. How effective and efficient can we make this "disaster by appointment" run?


Who better to show how it should be done than MCECG?


Hams and non-hams from around the Southwest District will be watching.

Topic: NET OPERATION


Summary: Good net operation separates a confused pile-up from an effective, efficient flow of information. What are our protocols? Why do we use them? Who are our best examples and role models to emulate?


See the www.MCECG.net home page for details and purpose of this net.

See www.AEN-MAR.org for audio recordings and useful files for download.
