Weekly net procedures

Every Wednesday at 21:00, we have our weekly "net" on the public default LongFast channel, on the default LONG_FAST frequency. We also touch base on our chat channel.

Note

A "net" is a concept borrowed from amateur radio where multiple callers join on the same frequency and time to communicate and collaborate. It's like a meeting, with a moderator taking speaking turns.

Net Control Guide

On each Wednesday at 21:00 local, send those two messages:

# Bienvenue sur le Réseau Libre #
Chaque mercredi, vous pouvez vous enregistrer avec:
"Bonsoir acat1815, ici MON_NOM à MON_ENDROIT"
Je répond à tous les messages que je reçois!

# Welcome to the Réseau Libre net #
Every Wednesday, you can check-in with:
"Hello acat1815, this is YOUR_NAME at YOUR_LOCATION" 
I will acknowledge all check-ins that I receive!

Respond to every check-in that you receive and include their name and location:

acat1815 (Net Control) received check-in from THEIR_NAME in LOCATION.

It may feel redundant to include names in the messages, but this ensures all parties have the node name available. Node lists typically only remember the 100 most recent node names and this is easy to exceed in high mesh-density areas.

At the end of the net, send your results to the chat channel (list of who was heard, their location, your location).
