Net Control Script

This is the net control script for the weekly non-emergency net.

[Note for Net Control Stations:  Remember to pause and un-key your mike every so often — about once a paragraph, await the courtesy tone, and then continue. Make sure you record every person that checks in by name and call sign. If you did not understand their call sign or what they said, do not hesitate to ask for it again.]

This is KE7GFZ – Kilo Echo Seven Gulf Foxtrot Zulu.  Good evening and welcome to the weekly Net of the Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club. My name is [your name/call sign]  I’ll be your net control station for this evening’s net.

If this repeater fails, then we will shift to the Carnation repeater at 441.850 + shift and tone of 103.5. If you can’t reach the Carnation repeater directly you should try reaching it via the Carnation repeater crossband at 145.750 with no shift and tone 103.5.

If all Repeaters fail, then we go to 145.590 simplex.

This net is for fellowship, news, distribution of announcements, and for testing the participant’s equipment via the check-in process. Members and visitors are welcome and encouraged to check in and participate.

Stations with emergency or priority traffic may break in at any point.

First, do we have any check-ins via IRLP or EchoLink? Please come now with your call sign, name and location.
Please speak slowly so I may record your information. [Record calls, names & locations]

We will now call for the members of Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club. At the time of each check-in, please state your call sign, name and location and advise if you have any announcements or traffic for the Net.
