SHARES 6875 / 6845 USB 1500 UTC 30 OTC 2024
« on: October 31, 2024, 1545 UTC »
I believe this is the first time I've logged the SHARES Southeast Net.

1500Z SHARES Southeast Net on 6875 USB
NNF4EM announced by SSB voice that he would send "alert message" by digital mode MT63 1000 Long, then sent the following:

ALL SHARES STATIONS DE NNX1XA
NORMAL SHARES OPERATIONS
ZYJSCN3SNA0/3041500/KGD34/2971700/NNX1XA/NATIONAL////
ZYJSCN3SNA0/3041500/KGD34/2971700/NNX1XA/NATIONAL////
ZYJSCN3SNA0/3041500/KGD34/2971700/NNX1XA/NATIONAL////

DE NNX1XA AR
EOM

I've seen messages in this format logged before, and some things stand out, although I don't completely understand all of the constituent parts.  A bit of Googling reveals that KGD34 is the callsign of the National Coordinating Center in Arlington, VA.  NNX1XA is a callsign that often shows up in ALE logs and appears to be the source of many SHARES messages.  The numbers may be coordination instructions as the "3041500" might mean you can send traffic to KGD34 on the 30th during the region 4 net at 1500Z (the time of this net) or that there is traffic available from that station.  I'd be interested in what others have seen or think about it.

The majority of the remainder of the net consisted of taking voice check-ins state-by-state and confirming that each station had copied the "alert message".  The traffic was re-sent or relayed to stations that were unable to copy directly.  Sometimes MARS or FEMA stations check into SHARES nets, but only NCC-issued callsigns were noted in this net.  All calls appeared to be the format NNx4xx, so presumably SHARES Southeast equates to FEMA/FCC region 4.

The net was already in progress when I tuned in with NNB1KC announcing that he would send routine traffic.  The following message was sent by digital mode MT63 1000 Long:
