Weekly Net Script
[Check-In
Procedures]
"Each station will be called
once." Call
a station only ONCE then WAIT for ALL
carriers to DROP.
If
no response, move on!
When acknowledging stations, a BRIEF
signal report should be added in case of a
poor signal (i.e. static, dropping out,
etc). Do NOT do late NYC-ARECS check-ins
for each Boro list, only after
Queens and again after traffic passed.
Being a directed net with you as NCS,
speak clearly and emphasize capitalized
words in the script. Some stations may not
be able to hear the net clearly. Do NOT
rush through the script. Let your carrier
drop every few sentences. If a station
tries to cut in, get their callsign first
then ask if they have an emergency.
Otherwise they are to wait their turn in
the check-in process. Never SHOUT into
your microphone, but remain calm and
in-charge.
[Net
Control Station Script]
THIS IS the New York City
Amateur Radio Emergency Communications
Service Net, meeting on Monday nights at
2030 hours ROMEO. The purpose of this Net
is to call together members of New York City
ARECS and to disseminate information regarding
emergency communications, preparedness and
related topics of interest. This net is
affiliated with Radio Relay International and
is available for the taking and relaying of
Radiograms. This is a DIRECTED NET and all
communications MUST go through the Net Control
Station AT ALL TIMES. Tonight your Net
Control Station is __________ (your
phonetic
call,
name and location). Is
there someone willing to act as an Alternate
Net Control should this station go off the
air? You will need to have a telnet or IRC
session to the packet chat turned on.
[Check-Ins]
At this time I will take check-ins
for the Net in the following manner:
[BE VERY DELIBERATE WITH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS] Net
Control will first conduct an open call-up for
stations holding any formal radiogram traffic
to be passed out of NYC, or delivered locally,
as well as for liaison stations available to
take such traffic. When checking in, give my
callsign, __________ (your
call), drop your carrier to see
that you are not doubling with anyone, then
proceed to give YOUR CALLSIGN PHONETICALLY,
YOUR NAME and the DESTINATION FOR YOUR
TRAFFIC. Any station, from any area or liaison
net, holding traffic to be forwarded or
delivered, call __________ (your
call) now.
[PAUSE and make a
list of stations with
traffic, available for relay
or to deliver the traffic]
Now the Net Control will conduct a Roll Call
by Boro, of all the New and Active New York
City ARECS members on the current membership
roster. Each station will be called only
ONCE and the carrier allowed to drop. [DEMONSTRATE IT]
If there is no
response, Net Control will move on to the next
station on the list. Respond ONLY with
your callsign and the proword "OVER", OR your
callsign followed by the prowords "TRAFFIC
OVER", if you have any traffic for the
Net. When you are acknowledged, Net
Control will respond with the proword "ROGER",
your callsign and then "OUT".
Any
late check-ins that wish to join this net will
be checked in AFTER the Boros by an open
call-up. All packet chat check-ins will be
done by the Alternate Net Control during this
net's open call-up period ONLY. After you
ATTEMPT to check-in, if you are still unable to get
into the net, feel free to check into the
N2NOV packet BBS converse chat channel by
using any telnet client and going to
[give the URL
phonetically] n-2-n-o-v DOT a-m-p-r DOT o-r-g
on port [SPEAK AS
DIGITS] 2-3-0-0. After
logging in type [Phonetically]
C-O-N-V at
the prompt to join the conversation.
[Don't
Forget Late Check-Ins After Queens
and Again After Traffic Passed]
We
will now begin call up for tonight's New
York City ARECS Net. Give your callsign in
phonetics.
[Do
NOT Ask If They Have Any Traffic For The
Net]
