ON THIS NET, ETIQUETTE IS NO TRIVIAL MATTER

The Sunflower GAPT Net offers a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Launched by the Sunflower Linked System, the net intends to live up to the initials in its title, for Good Amateur Practice and Trivia - GAPT. Net control station is Daryl Stout, NK5LA.

Participants in the weekly net discuss a variety of subjects, especially the proper way for hams to conduct themselves courteously on the air. The conversation is designed to enlighten and inform - but also entertain - so the talk will always touch on amateur radio trivia at some point, just for fun.

The Sunflower Network is based in the "sunflower state" of Kansas, but the linked system makes it accessible to hams everywhere on DMR, the TGIF Network, P25, M17, AllStar, D-Star, Echolink, Fusion and Hams Over IP.

See the link in the text version of this week's newscast to learn more about joining the net.
