preamble
Attention Stations, this is [callsign], net control for the Bellevue Amateur Radio Club Weekly Protocol Net. My name is [first name] and I will be your net control this evening. This net takes place on the W0WYV 147.39 repeater, requiring a PL tone of 131.8 Hz.
The purpose of this net is to practice our communication skills as they relate to procedures and conventions in amateur radio. It is also an opportunity for us to get to know other members of our local radio community. Please share your traffic and ham radio related announcements on events in the area including those from other clubs.
Although sponsored by the Bellevue Amateur Radio Club, this net is open to all ham operator checkins regardless of club affiliation. 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 net control.
When checking in, I would ask that you call "net control," and let the repeater drop, then continue with your name, callsign, and location. Please give all three, name, callsign, and location. Because this is FM, phonetics are not necessary unless specifically requested by net control. If you do not have traffic for the net, there is no need to state "no traffic."
At this time I will standby for mobile or portable stations. Any stations that are mobile, portable, or short time please call "net control," let the repeater drop, then continue with your name, callsign, and location. Announce if you have traffic for tonight’s net.
