I was an active traffic handler in the 1980s on the 2 meter NTS net.  I'd
write down all the messages using my good old brailler.

I also was a trafic handler and an NCS on the Golden Bear net, but there
wasn't much traffic there except at Christmas time.

Although I checked into the daytime RN6 nets, I never checked into the
evening RN6 because I'm not that hep on CW, (grin).

I'm not active anymore because the 2 meter net is on a repeater I can't
reach and the Golden Bear Net doesn't have anything going on at all.

I'm in Army MARS, but most of the traffic is done through pactor and I don't
have that capability.

I'd love to get involved in traffic handling today.  Sometimes I check into
the local ARES net.  Whenever there is traffic, I take it down using my
BrailleNote.  It's nice, quiet and fast!  I've also acted as a net control
and I used my BrailleNote to take down the check-ins.
