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 may 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 Local Time. 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 both Zello and 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
those holding any formal radiogram traffic to
be passed out of NYC or for local delivery and
for those liaison stations who are available
to take the traffic. When checking in, please
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, for traffic to be forwarded or delivered,
please call now.
[Make a list of
stations with traffic and
those available to relay or
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. Please
respond ONLY with your callsign, OR your
callsign and the word TRAFFIC, if you have any
traffic for the Net. When you are
acknowledged, Net Control will respond with
the PROWORD "Roger."
Any
late check-ins that wish to join this net will
be checked in AFTER the Boros by an open
call-up. All late Zello and/or 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 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- . -a-m-p-r- . -o-r-g on
port 2-3-0-0. After
logging in type 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.

NOT Ask If They Have Any Traffic For The
Net]
