Guys, I have seen this net mentioned several times and I would be very interested in checking it out, maybe even as control after a time. However, no one ever mentions when the net is. Just a thought. When is it, what repeater?

The AMSAT-Florida net
by Andrew Glasbrenner 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Gentlemen, The AMSAT-Florida net is in very real peril. I've not been available much at all with the arrival of my son, extra hours at work, and my other AMSAT duties like keeping AO-51 alive. That has left Cameron and Dave to shoulder the responsibility. Combined with the changes to the NI4CE system, we are in very real danger of having to end the net due to lack of net control stations. Several regular checkins have the experience to call this very informal net; we don't require a super ham, just someone who can read a script, reads -bb and ANS, and can maybe answer some basic questions or find someone on the net that can. Again, if you enjoy the net and can help as a net control once in a while, please hit reply all and let us know. If we don't get at least two volunteers, I'm afraid we'll have to stop altogether. 73, Drew KO4MA PS KG4LCR, if you still want to help, drop me an email and I'll send you the latest script. I'm sorry I got off track after Tampa.

Tonight's Florida AMSAT Net
by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

I will be attending the local LMARS club meeting tonight and will not be available to take the net. If someone can fill in, that would be appreciated. Just a heads up for whoever takes it, last week I had one check in. A direct connection to the N4HHA repeater here in town. For some reason, it appeared to me that nothing was linked in. Dave, AA4KN
