Bob, you hit the nail on the head regarding my question. I thought it was redundant to have people calling in via radio when you are live streaming at the same time. I get it now. It’s about training as well as being a net and not a broadcaster. Thanks for answering my question.

ARES net lasts about an hour each week for our local community.

Discord chat would also work for some subjects.

Thanks Bob. You are exactly right. When SHTF it's too late to learn how to work your radio or if it even works. Do you follow APRS? I will be traveling next month and like to see if can track my progress. KI7YTJ

I do. Sometimes. There's only one Igate in my area so coverage is spotty.

Just remember the mixed blessing of APRS. It is recorded "forever" with open access. A discontented neighbor or local burglars can see you are out if town. Yes, it has been used to send emergency calls as well, and can even send email texts. But you are sending a beacon, with no way to know who will see it.

The problem with nets is that you get the ONE guy who wants to discuss his set up at length and just wont shut up. No one cares what antenna wire you are using nor the good deal you got on it in 1972, nor the fact you have been operating since you were 9yo with your extra ticket. I partake in a couple of nets, and am not a net control, but I appreciate those who do. I would be available if you wish me to participate in your net. Am a prepper and a former Army Ranger and a current career Fire Captain/HAZMAT guy. So... I hurt my knee when I was standing up my first antenna that I got from the Radio Shack on Main and Elm st. Back when old man Johnson owned it. Was a 87' tower that I got for a song! Old man Johnson died in '82 and the shop went to garbage when his son took over...

Medical strategies. When the system collapses there will be a need for medical knowledge. First aid kits and books. Medical manuals. Knowledge of wild medicinal plants in your area.

What about designating someone to relay the pertinent comments from the chat to the radio since you have your hands full handling the radio and running the outline? Maybe run a call in or find a way to blend discord chat into the live stream? Keep the discord muted until someone raises their hand? I don't know how that would go out over the radio and may take away from the radio net practice but just tossing out options.... the proverbial throw it against the wall and see what sticks.

My family is originally from Idaho, in fact Twin Falls. It would be great for us to listen to your net when it's live. Do a live stream here so we can get an idea. Here, we have a weekly member check-in net, followed by the next day, ARES net, we break off to simplex frequencies and different modes, then on Tuesday is a Tech Net, where everyone listening can ask questions that are ham radio related.

Explain a little more. Winlink's an email program and skywarn is a weather spotter group.
