Does it really require a training program for new hams to learn not to
interrupt a net, initiate an autopatch in the middle of a QSO, or not use 10-4
good buddy language?


Some of this would require that the newbie know what nets are and
what they "sound" like on the air, and also have some common
curetesy. Also realize that autopatching is something of a burden
on the host machine, and casual use to be avoided. But if a
traveling ham comes to town and needs to call the people he
will be visiting, I'd let him use it for a few minutes.

Hopefully the newbie will know not to "rachet-jaw" on ham
radio like some people do on CB.
