    RS> Yeah, in this particular case, it relies on the NC to jump in   
    RS> and manage people who drop out. 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.
