Hog County Amateur Radio Association Radio NET – Script
This is:( Your Call Sign )
Does anyone need to use the frequency before I call the Hog County Amateur Radio Association Radio Net with the Club Call of K4HOG? (Yes, ask if they can move to another repeater or join the net. No, then proceed with the script.)
I am Net Control for today’s net session on (Date). My name is ( ? ), my call is ( Your Call Again), and I live in ( General area ), Sumter County, Florida.
This is a general radio net for the purpose of allowing participants to check their equipment, pass along any pertinent information, and just general rag-chew. This net meets each Monday evening at 8:00 PM ET. This is a Directed Net – please follow the instructions of Net Control and use standard net procedures.
This net meets on the 147.030 MHz Repeater with a tone of 123.0 Hz and is located in Sumterville, Florida. This repeater is owned and operated by the Hog County Amateur Radio Association, and we would like to thank them for allowing us to use it.
*** ARE THERE ANY MOBILE OR SHORT-TIME STATIONS WISHING TO CHECK IN? ***
(Short-time or mobiles get to go first as a courtesy.)
*** Check-ins: Okay, I will take local RF stations first; please give your Call Sign, Name, and general QTH. Please speak slowly; I will acknowledge each call and then ask for the next one. Then I will call for anyone on AllStar or EchoLink to check in; please give the time needed to key the repeater and release the repeater remembering there is a little delay. Then one more check for any other check-ins.
*** Take radio check-ins….please log each one and ask for correction if needed.
*** Take AllStar & EchoLink check-ins….please log each one and ask for correction if needed.
*** Ask for any additional or all other check-ins from anywhere.
After the check-ins are complete, proceed with the following
