Ah you are inventing problems. The "real NC" would quickly assert their position. There are lots of nets held on ham radio...how often do others claim to be net control...virtually never. If you are saying someone will cause malicious interference, there is no cure other than peer pressure and official FCC action. The way to introduce Net Controlled passes is to do it in advance of FD. In fact the idea might catch on when folks find it manages the typical "FM chaos" that reigns currently. I propose there be a Net Day every month on certain FM satellites starting with AO-51, if it is healthy enough. Good practise for a real "emergency comm" situation. There are ARES Nets held regularly all over the nation on VHF/UHF... why not on satellite? 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-?
