Weekly MARCO Medical Grand Rounds on the Air HF Net
The Medical Amateur Radio Council (MARCO) conducts its weekly Grand Rounds on the Air net on 14.342 MHz at 11am Eastern time (1600 UTC in the summer months and 1500 UTC in the winter months).
Health Care professionals check-in to the net and engage through moderated (net directed) round-table discussions on topics of interest, often a timely issue in healthcare Those present include physicians and dentists from many specialties, pharmacists, nurses, researchers (PhDs), EMTs, and members who serve in other health related careers. All members of the amateur community and public are welcome to listen and submit questions to the discussion panel using the AIM messaging feature in the freely available netlogger program (netllogger.org), aided by using the livesteam of the net. This facilitates country and worldwide engagement of participants and listeners while negating the limitations of HF propagation.
