I will get it. I have one by AC6V that is pretty good, also. There
are not many manuals like that -- you gotta pick it up watching and
listening.
I recall my first encounter with a WAS net, like Century Club or OMISS.
They called for check-ins... and I checked in following the lead of
the guy before me. THEN, I scrambled all over the computer, looking
for a web site, and frantically reading it, to see what the ^%$ # I
was supposed to do and say when it came my turn to talk - and I was like
only 13 on the list. I listened to the other operators, and read the
web site info, and got it figured out before it was my turn to make a
call. Whew... nothing like the sink-or-swim method.
The OMISS guys were swell on my first time with their net. They knew I
was super green, and they all called me, and I picked up maybe 15 or 16
states on the first night. Man was I busy... trying to remember what
to say, write down the call info, and be ready for the odd caller that
actually asked me for more than a reception report. I am sure they
remembered their first time out.
