A K3 SSB net?

I see that there is a CW net, but regarding vital matters like case
colors (and roofing filters), wouldn't it be more efficient and
enjoyable to chew a rag on phone, instead of loading up our screens?
Shouldn't we be USING our own stations? and be prepared for when all
else fails?

How about establishing 40 and 20m frequencies (+/-5) and a schedule of
Sunday afternoon and evening times, plus 2 weekday evenings -- not for
a formal net, yet, but to see what comes together.

I have little experience with nets (except from 1970's), so I'll open
it up for suggestions.

Afterall, we're RADIO operators.

How about the Elecraft QSO Party, which should be in about a little
over a week. I haven't seen anything updated on the website about it.

In reply to this post by KM5Q

There was an Elecraft SSB Net. While trying to make contact with the NCS I finally tried CW and met a few other Elecraft operators. Not too many weeks later I started ECN. I am not sure what happened to the folks who started the voice net but propagation was going downward at that time. You may want to look in the Reflector archives around April or May of 2003. ECN started on June 7th, 2003 with VE1RGB, W0CZ, & N5IB checking in to the first session. Maybe N5IB remembers the voice net details better than I have.
