QUAKENET2.1 BASICS

QuakeNet participants have three actions to complete:
1. Tune in and listen to the Net Instructions at 0900 hrs, Sunday, January 17th 2010 2. Check-in with Net Control when your call sign is heard. Check-in with a Relay Operator ONLY if you could not check-in with Net Control 3. Record the RST of the signals you hear for every one on the roster

At 0900 we start on 146.640 PL 107.2. Net Control is on 146.640 SANDRA Otay for 2m Repeater, PL 107.2 and 146.550 simplex for Roll Call.

At 0910 we switch to 146.550 and only Net Control conducts roll call. Relay Stations monitor and make note of stations that are not heard by net control.

Net Control will monitor 146.640 Otay Repeater PL 107.2 for the duration of the net.

At approximately 0940 control switches to Relay Stations and the Relay Control Operators ask for missed check-ins in roll call order. All participants will have a roster so they can get in line, so to speak, and avoid pile ups. Participants should select the Relay Control that is in their area. Net Control is not taking adds or visitors. You may do so if you feel inclined. I suggest you make any adds or visitors wiat till you finish roll.

We will have a check-in of Relay Operators on the assigned frequencies so the participants can select the relay station that has the best signal for them.

At approximatley 0955 we will go back to 2M repeater and close the net.

Primary objective is to exercise 2M simplex.
Secondary objective is to get the most participation possible from all amateur radio operators Tertiary objective is keep the operation simple so as to encourage everyone to participate - old Hams, New Hams and NBOAs (Never Been On the Air) =========================================

CIRCUIT MERIT SIGNAL REPORTING SYSTEM


The CM ("Circuit Merit") system was devised by HF radiotelephone professionals to better

quantify the average quality of a VOICE signal. The letters "CM" (voiced as "Charlie Mike")

are followed by a figure from 0 to 5 - to indicate the quality of the VOICE. In addition, it can be

followed by the S-meter reading to indicate objective signal strength.

Example: A report of CM4 would be voiced as: "Your signal is Charlie Mike four." If the meter

reading is added (CM4, S9) it becomes: "Your signal is Charlie Mike four, Sierra nine."

The signal is quantified using these criteria:

CM5 - Completely clear, broadcast quality. Each word is fully understood, without any

objectionable interference or noise; on FM, full quieting. Always breaks squelch (*). This

designator is not always earned on FM, and seldom on SSB; as conditions must be superb.

CM4 - Clear with a slight amount of noise and/or interference. Each word is understood.

Always breaks squelch. A common report for solid SSB voice conditions under very good

conditions; the FM equivalent is a slight amount of "white noise" behind the transmission.

CM3 - Static and/or interference is present. Bulk of transmissions are understood without

having to be repeated. Usually breaks squelch. CM3 is generally considered to be at the

margin of acceptable voice communications, particularly when using squelched FM.

CM2 – The noise level very close to signal level. Static and / or interference very

prevalent; words are missed, retransmissions are necessary. Won't break squelch reliably.

CM2 is not considered not acceptable or reliable.

CM1 – A signal is barely evident and words are unintelligible. You can tell that someone

is "there" but will not break squelch. CM1 is deemed unusable for voice communications.

CM0 - Absolutely no signal is detectable.

(*) - Used for FM communications only, unless your SSB radio uses a syllabic-derived

squelch such as SINAD.
