[HATS] Fw: Ideas for articles for ATVQ

[ATVQ]

When I was in Germany, you would have had an audience large enough to make
that a good idea. They had about 100 people that would monitor the Monday
night net every week! Wow, wish we had systems here in the USA like that -
or do we and I just do not realize it.

The ATV Net they had was like a newscast, where, the two M/C's would read
something like the NewsLine that we read over our two meter repeaters here
in the states. A third person would do the "production" and change cameras,
zoom, take care of ID'ing, and all that good stuff. They had a background, a
newsdesk, the whole works. After the NEWS, they had check-in and as people
checked in, their callsign was scrolled across the bottom of the screen.
What a neat operation.
