All HAMs who have privileges for this portion of the band are welcome to participate. Industry Canada requires Advanced or Basic + Honours (B+). The FCC requires Advanced or Extra Class authorization for this portion of the 40-meter band. There is a different Net controller each day of the week. Net Loggers assist in keeping Netlogger updated during the Net. Due to propagation variations, relays are often used to ensure all who wish are checked-in. To maximize the number of check-ins, conversations and CW exchanges are kept short. CW exchanges are encouraged but not mandatory. The Net logs all contacts using NetLogger available from netlogger.org. Users can see who has checked-in and communicate off-air with each other using the A.I.M. message window. See the tutorial made by Don, VE3KII.  See this image as an example screen layout you can set up.
