    The objectives of our nets during this year’s hurricane season nets are:
    -Provide strength and readability feedback reports to those stations checking into the net based on the Communications Instructions Radiotelephone Procedures (ACP 125G)  document
    -Encourage the use of plain language strength and readability reporting to create and more easily understood signal strength and readability values.

    When the net is conducted it is as follows: 8:00pm check in via any SCHEART linked repeater.
