a few thoughts . . . first of all you did a stellar job and the name "oldskool net" was a great idea. 40 was in much better shape earlier this morning - it got a noisy as the day went on.
lots of guys simply get together for regular rag chews. belonged to one group who would meet on 40 and move to 17 after a bit. typically they met at 1300hrs EST cpl of times a week - just a gathering and not a formal net - thus NO NET CONTROL required. less stress - more fun
lets say we have "old skool ragchew" - very informal -announce it here. meets at XYZ time on what ever freq. we can tell each other who we are and match a name to a TB handle - i.e KW** - Dennis aka RM. it goes on and anyone can join in if they care to
weekends are typically bad business becasue of contesters and qso parties. thats one of the beautiful things about 17 - but any band - especially 40 given the presumed nationwide interest of our group - would be great in the afternoon on weekdays.
just some thots
enjoyed it very much - good to talk with you and Randy - but missed Nowski and Henry as well as a few others who apparently wanted to get in but either couldn't make the trip or were covered up by the weekend crowd
lets do it again
