The Early Bird Transcontinental Net, 3.940 mhz, daily

Check in starts at 1:30 AM est, net starts 4:45 AM est to 6:00 AM.

Hope to see (hear) you there. The protocol is check in and give your local temperature and get a number which signifies your position by which you will be called to check into the net, where you will give a short congenial greeting to the general net participants. You are allowed to say anything to anyone in general or specifically to an individual in a reasonably timed transmission. There are also times during the net when check in is solicited if you have not made the pre-net check in.The pre-net check in is open for open discussion/round table hamming.
There are usually 80 ish check ins and frequently over 100.
