Nobody knows if they are members or not. I would never post a call sign with a screen name. I just need a relay.

Assuming this was aimed at me.

She absolutely loves talking all over the place to new interesting people. She's not a fan of the digital modes though she's a "sideband or go home" girl.

Same.  Thanks for picking up us stragglers.  Net control started to fade out into the noise (for me at least, I still have a lot of noise to deal with).

We may want to call for "ar15.com stations only". It might be nice to pick up some new members, but with non-arfcommers checking in at almost a 1:1 ratio it kind of makes the net go very slowly.

This antenna is not the best choice for this net. It really kicks ass for working DX though.
I'm tempted to hang a horizontal Delta-Loop for 40 meters, just for this net. Got some 300 Ohm ladder line and some steel copper clad antenna wire from The Wireman, 2 weeks ago. 40 feet above ground should work fine for short range comms.

So accounting for both amplifier and antenna gain roughly how much ERP were you tossing at me while you were pointed thus way?

Maybe if NC would every 5 minutes or so throw out something like "This is a net specifically  for members of the arfcom forum.  Other hams are welcome to check in after Arfcom members have completed check in.". Perhaps that would discourage random check-ins.
