CCAR Net Control Schedule for Next 3 Months
The NCS schedule for the next six months is available by clicking here. Thanks to each of you for supporting this effort.
As is my usual practice, I’ll send out a reminder a few days before your scheduled net. Remember to send me a brief net report following the net. A simple list of the callsigns that checked in is all I need to enter the time into AC Connect.
Thanks again and have a great week.
