standard net control script

This is the standard net control script used by net control stations for the Douglas County ARES net. This is based on a transcript of a recorded Douglas County ARES net from the summer of 2016.

Stations, this is [callsign], net control for the Douglas County ARES net. Now activating the Douglas County ARES information net on the K0USA repeater in Omaha Nebraska. My name is [first name] and I will be your net control operator this evening.

This net accepts all checkins, regardless of club affiliation, or ARES membership status. Anyone within range of this repeater that wishes to checkin may do so. This is a directed net, meaning all transmissions will be directed by this net control station.

Should this repeater fail for any reason, the backup repeater is going to be 147.36 repeater. Alternate modes are also accepted as checkins, that would be packet on 145.09 or APRS on 144.39.

When checking in this evening, I would ask that you call “net control,” and let the repeater drop like this… [kerchunk] and then continue with your callsign. If you do nto have traffic for the net, there is no need to state “no traffic,” just your callsign is sufficient.

At this time I will standby for mobile or portable stations. Any stations that are mobile or portable tonight please call “net control,” and let the repeater drop like this… [kerchunk] then continue with your callsign and announce if you have traffic for tonight’s net.

[checkins]

All stations please wait. At this time I will acknowledge…

[recall checkins]

If I have any of those callsigns incorrect, please call “net control” now.
