PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE NEXT DATE AND TIME OF THE NSN-NET!! We moved to a new day and time-slot. All indications are that the problems we experience during the week might have been solved with moving the net to a Sunday afternoon.
The 13 th NSN - Net was held yesterday afternoon. Great input by all, even some "controversial" content but this shows that the Net is open to freedom of speech and that our participants is open minded when it comes to amateur radio matters. I would like to thank all those that participated in the Net in the past. Your input makes the net what it is today. A really special Net and something different from the ordinary get-to-together's on the air.
Yesterday many suggestions and new ideas were placed on the table for future food for thought iro the "SK Factor in Amateur Radio". Many great ideas and suggestions surfaced that can be implemented and used to hopefully attract more people to amateur radio.
If you missed the Net than you missed a wide variety of view points relating to this question.
As stated before, those that participated in the Net ensure the continuation of the Net. The "Net Sonder Naam/Net without Name" is not a one person en-devour or club activity but belongs to every radio amateur that participate. I request listeners to report in by just telling us that you will be listening or to actively participate. Just a reminder the net is open to all radio amateurs and you use the language of your preference!!
