Note: The Net meets every week at 9 PM on Tuesday evenings on the repeater on 145.470.
This is only a guideline and don't feel as though it has to be followed perfectly.
"This is (your call) and my name is (name) transmitting from (location). I will be your Net Control Station for this evening's weekly net of the Fannin County Amateur Radio Club."
"Before the net begins if there is anyone that needs to use the repeater or the autopatch please come now." ((Usually no one will respond and then begin the net.))
"All amateurs are welcome. You do not need to be a member of the radio club to participate. The purpose of the net is to check equipment, practice some net organizational skills, promote amateur radio in the area and to share information. Again, this is (your call) and stations wishing to check in please do so now."
((Allow a little time and it is probably a good practice to repeat the calls of those who have checked in prior to going to the top of the list. I find it particularly handy to keep a hard copy list of the people who have checked in from week to week with their call and name for ready reference))
((After you feel sufficient time has been allowed for all stations to check in begin with the top of the list and go through the list allowing everyone time to transmit, ask questions, make comments or whatever is necessary.))
((After you have gone through the list)):
"Once again, are there any late check-in's or rechecks?
((If someone does check
in give them time to transmit)).
"Again, this is (your call) and thanks to everyone who checked in tonight. This weekly session of the Fannin County Amateur Radio Net is now closed and the repeater is returned to normal use. Thanks and 73 to all from (your call)."
