Came across this one a few times part way through proceedings and despite it being minus three degrees here managed to get up early and track back on this net for actual commence time:
8.122MHz USB 2030z "MagNet" calling for check ins, quite a few yachts from the Melanesia region with Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Solomon Islands most evident.
The checking in station seems to be from yachts and not land based. One yacht runs the net with relays from others.
Format: vessel name, position report, speed, number of crew aboard, ETA at destination, current weather and concludes with "all safe on board."
Quite a well run net with no swearing, no nonsense and running to protocol, chit chat session at end of check ins.
