Howard,
I hold the hand mike in my left hand & read with my right hand.  When I need to write down information, I just put the microphone down.  I have run several types of nets using this technique including an emergency net for a couple of days a number of years ago.  If you have any type of paperless braille device (such as a Braille Lite or Pac Mate), it does make things easier because you're not having to keep your script from moving around while you're trying to read it using only one hand.

Subject:      running a net

        I have been asked to run a net on our local repeater.
Since I only have two hands, I am trying to figure out how to read
the  preamble script, my check in list, and hold a hand mike at the same
time.  Does anybody use braille here and run a  VHF net?  If so how?
Thanks!
