It's an incredibly conversational/social        DS> RS> net, and I can't think of many that I've enjoyed more. That        DS> RS> said, if you don't have a notepad, you'll definitely struggle        DS> RS> to keep up. :)        DS>         DS> What's worse is if the connection drops out, and you miss where they        DS> are in the log, what do you do then??              Yeah, in this particular case, it relies on the NC to jump in and manage       people who drop out. It's a smallish net, though, and routinely has the same       voices, so it's not a huge deal.               DS> I originally used pen and paper long ago, then Notepad. When I nearly        DS> wiped out the entries with a few keystrokes, I decided to look for a new        DS> logging program, so I use a combination of Netlogger and Ham.Live for my        DS> nets.              As great a utility as it might be, I found NetLogger to be a little lacking in       certain areas. Enough so that I wrote my own web app to handle running my       weekly net. I've been working on it for about a year, and still have a couple       kinks to work out (mainly on the security front), but having something I can       run from my phone, tablet, or PC is super slick. (Plus, I can generate reports       out of it for the club meeting.)              If I get it to a point where I'm comfortable putting my name on it, I'll share       it here. :)              73,       Randall       WZ8Q              ...
