Rules
Make sure to use your call signs.
Hello Mountain Top!
We have AWESOME COVERAGE FROM THE Sierra foothills to the wine country to the North Bay and San Francisco and maybe more….!
Radio etiquette.
Reasons why….
a) We will need to listen BEFORE we just Key Up. To ensure we do NOT INTERUPT another person’s QSO.
b) We have many more users and we will all want more Air Time.
c) We need to keep QSO’s short and to the point. So we don’t tie up the systems. There could be someone waiting to use the system. We need to keep QSO’s to a few sentences not multiple paragraphs of words, 15 to 30 seconds at max. And make sure we don’t quick key, count to 3 seconds between each users un-key before you key up again. This gives other users a chance to ID and ask for a break.
d) We do not want to have to set up Busy Channel Lock Out nor some sort of TOT timer. If you do not follow these rules.
e) NO DEAD KEY KERCHUNKING! OF OUR REPEATERS OR ANYONE ELSES! WE DO NOT WANT TO GIVE MTN TOP USERS A BAD REPUTATION. If you key up ID yourself and indicate testing.
So PLEASE ALL BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR NOT DOING WHILE ON THE AIR.
Thank you, Admin.
