Regional Net

Can someone tell me why Virginia is not included in the regional net.

Because no one has a linked repeater. You need a repeater to link and someone willing to link. Most owners do not want that, myself included.

Thanks for the info, I use the North Carolina Stone Mountain repeater.

If you have access to a linked repeater through stone mountain, wait for open check-ins near the end of the net. New users are given a chance to check in after roll call for active users. When you check in, give net control the following information:

 

Call sign, slowly and clearly so net control can write it down. For me, it would be "Whiskey Roger Alpha Kilo 9 6 8"

First name,

Where you are, (City/state or just state, up to you)

and whether or not you have traffic for the national net.

 

You must check into the regional net at 7PM, or check in through MyGMRS under Nets. Net Control does request that if you say you'll participate in the national round table that you be there. Lotta people say they have traffic then dont show up.

 

After all that, your call will be put on the roll call, adding the state of VA to be called out. Your call will remain on the list as long as you are active. If you miss 5 meetings in a row (Correct me if I have that number wrong) your call will be removed.
