So why I can not be a net control operator

What is net operations???Net operationFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In telecommunication, net operation is the operation of an organization of stations capable of direct communication on a common channel or frequency.

Note: Net operations (a) allow participants to conduct ordered conferences among participants who usually have common information needs or related functions to perform, (b) are characterized by adherence to standard formats and procedures, and (c) are responsive to a common supervisory station, called the "net control station", which permits access to the net and maintains net operational discipline.

Why net operations ???The word net is short for network. Networks can be defined as a groups of equipment, individuals, and /or agencies acting together to increase efficiency and effectiveness through shared information and resources. The word network can be further broken down into its two components. Net implies a capture and holding effect. Work implies that something productive is to be accomplished. Ham radio operators and nets in emergency situations capture, record, hold, and distribute information so that others may work (produce results) more effectively.
