PREAMBLE FOR NET CONTROL
(#1 through #6 is spoken by NC)
1) Welcome to the West Valley Amateur Radio Club's morning (or evening) call-in net. This is [YOUR NAME, YOUR CALL] and I will be your Net Control. Our nets on this repeater are currently 7 days per week at 9AM and 8 PM.
2) This is an open, directed, net and all licensed amateur operators, Technician Class or higher, are welcome.
3) Our club's NY7S repeater, is located on top of Del Webb Hospital in Sun City West, Arizona and operates on a frequency of 147.300 MegaHertz, which requires a standard positive 600 KiloHertz offset, and a 162.2 Hertz tone.
4) You may call a double-break for an emergency situation, but 9-1-1 is usually your better option.
5) Our normal format is to ask for "Short-Time", "Mobile" and "Echolinks", and then any other general check-ins.
6) We ask that you allow the repeater to drop completely and wait 2 seconds to allow Echolink users to check-in. Come now with your name and call sign.
As the Net Control, you will announce your trivia or discussion topic and begin taking check-ins, making sure to keep them in order individually and with short-timers, mobiles and Echolinks before the general check-ins. (If you take up to about 5 at a time, it may be easier to keep track of everyone.) Ask them to “Hold it right there”, and begin with the top of your list.
Don't forget to identify yourself every 10 minutes (This does not mean every time that you speak.) with your CALL and the NY7S morning/evening call-in net. Invite hams to check-in.
Announce QST's and ask for any further QST's.
If you are NEW or not comfortable yet, ask people to slow down and spell out their call sign phonetically so that you are able to write it down. (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie…)
[If you need to fill time, you could add a “Did you know, on this day in History?” portion to your net, with a few items.]
Once the check-ins die down, announce a final call for check-ins before ending your net. Close out the net, turning the frequency back over to normal operating airwaves, and thank everyone for their participation.
Note: This is a suggested format, and is not written in stone.
"We sure do appreciate you taking the Net!"~ quote by Ed,WA6PNJ,sk
West Valley ARC members like to meet at the park and talk
about their radios and antennas. We had a great time getting together last fall, and look forward to getting together again in the spring.
The first Monday of the month we socialize at 6 PM, before the meeting begins at 7 PM. We also get together for breakfast and lunch. The next meeting date and time are on our Homepage.
