It's a smallish net, though,        RS> and routinely has the same voices, so it's not a huge deal.               There was a guy who checked into a Skywarn net, but he left his       station without telling Net Control. There was a tornado heading       right for him, and there was no way to contact him...and he had       disappeared before the tornado became a threat.               On one net, this joker told the net control station that "you need       to tell the trustee and president to get AllStar, and get with the       program (so he could checkin over the internet to satisfy his ego).       He was then sternly told by net control that "I am the trustee, and       the club president. Get off my net!!".               RS> As great a utility as it might be, I found NetLogger to be a        RS> little lacking in certain areas. Enough so that I wrote my own        RS> web app to handle running my weekly net. I've been working on        RS> it for about a year, and still have a couple kinks to work out        RS> (mainly on the security front), but having something I can run        RS> from my phone, tablet, or PC is super slick. (Plus, I can        RS> generate reports out of it for the club meeting.)               I have both, but do my log screenshots from Netlogger...with the       other as a backup.               RS> If I get it to a point where I'm comfortable putting my name on        RS> it, I'll share it here. :)               My programming ends at setting the clock on the microwave oven...my       extent of microwave communications. If I forget how to do that, I'll       starve to death. |
