Session 6 of the National GMRS Net saw yet another record of check-ins, totaling 56 attendees. Use of a roll-call relieved a lot of the pileup issues we’ve had in the past, and we’ll be using one going forward. The recording is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKaDCQXrCCE
The Texas GMRS Network joined us for the first time on this session, with a total of 10 check-ins from their system; nice!
