Become a Net Control Station (NCS)
Every LARK net is conducted by a Net Control Station (NCS). Operators are encouraged to volunteer as Net Control to gain valuable operating experience and develop leadership skills within the amateur radio community.
Please be patient and supportive of newer Net Control operators as they learn the role. Today's participant may become tomorrow's Net Control.
Contact Ed Diemer, AE6D, for additional information and training opportunities.
