Net control: Trigger the repeater by stating your callsign 15
seconds before starting, so the voice ID doesn't come in right after
your opening!
Attention all stations (optional repeats: Attention all stations, Attention all stations):
This is [NAME, CALL], net
control station for the ARES/RACES disaster preparedness net in
Oakland, California. The primary purpose of this net is to organize and
coordinate volunteer emergency communications in the city of Oakland. (PAUSE)
All licensed amateurs listening, regardless of location, are welcome
and encouraged to check in and participate. This net meets weekly on
Thursday at 19:30 hours Pacific Time, on the WB6NDJ repeater
transmitting on 146.880 MHz and linked to the 442.400 MHz repeater in
Oakland, California. (PAUSE)
This repeater portion of the net will be followed by a simplex portion,
which will be at 147.585 MHz or, if that frequency is occupied,
146.565. If you can, please follow us to our simplex frequency and
check in there as well.(PAUSE)
This is a directed net. Net control requests initial check in by
complete call sign stated phonetically. After you are acknowledged by
net control, please identify by call sign without phonetics, followed
by your name and the last 2 digits of the Oakland zip code of your
present location. If you are outside Oakland, please give your city
instead. [PAUSE] If you
have routine traffic for the net, please advise net control as you
check in. Once you have checked in, please stand by unless called upon
by net control. If you wish to speak, please state only your full call
sign and wait to be acknowledged. (PAUSE)
This net will interrupt at any time for emergency or priority traffic.
If you have such traffic, please say the word 'emergency' or 'priority'
followed by your call sign, and wait to be
acknowledged. (PAUSE)
* Are there any stations operating from fire stations or other emergency locations tonight?
(PAUSE FOR REPLIES)
* Are there any mobile or pedestrian stations for check-in at this time?
(PAUSE FOR REPLIES)
* This is [NAME, CALLSIGN]. All stations with call sign suffixes Alpha through Hotel, regulars and visitors, please check in now. (PAUSE FOR REPLIES) (DO NOT REPEAT)
* All stations with call sign suffixes Alpha through Papa, regulars and visitors, please check in now. (PAUSE FOR REPLIES) (DO NOT REPEAT)
* All remaining stations, regulars and visitors, please check in now. (PAUSE FOR REPLIES) (REPEAT UNTIL NO FURTHER STATIONS ARE HEARD.)
* Any stations on ECHOLINK
or IRLP that have not already checked in, please check in now.
(If you hear any such, PAUSE for 2 seconds after they unkey, so that
they can hear you respond.)
(HANDLE STATIONS WITH TRAFFIC, ANNOUNCEMENTS AND RECOGNIZE CONTACTS. ASK FOR QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS FOR FILLS.)
* We are about to move to the simplex portion of the net on 147.585,
This is a final call for any late check-ins or other traffic for the
net. (PAUSE)
As there is no further activity for the net, the repeater portion of the Oakland ARES/RACES net is closed at [TIME]
hours. In case of actual local disaster, this repeater, or
the simplex frequency 146.88, will host a resource net on which
amateurs located in Oakland, Piedmont, or Emeryville who are available
for service can check in. Thanks to all stations who participated in
tonight's net and we'll listen for you again next Thursday at 19:30
hours Pacific time on this frequency. Thanks again to ORCA for
the use of its repeater. (PAUSE)
Net control will now change frequency to the simplex portion of this
net on 147.585 Mhz. If that frequency is in use, we will use 146.565
MHz.
This is [name], your Net Control Station, [call sign].
======================================================================
Simplex Net
Is this frequency in use?
This is [name], [call sign], your Net Control Station for this evening's Oakland Neighborhood ARES/RACES disaster preparedness net.
[NCS should then
listen and if nothing is heard say "nothing heard" and pause for
several seconds, allowing another station on the net who DOES hear
stations already using the frequency to interrupt and notify the
NCS].
[If frequency is in use, announce the alternate frequency, 146.565, and go there.]
We will now continue with the simplex portion of the net. Net
Control will call each station that checked in during the repeater
portion of the net. Please respond with your call sign only. Net
Control will acknowledge stations heard or will comment that no
response was heard. If you hear a station respond that Net Control does
NOT hear, please advise Net Control immediately by stating your full
call sign.
[Go through the
check-in list. If you call a station and hear a response, acknowledge
it so all stations on the net know that Net Control heard the response.
If you call a station and hear NO response or only noise that you
cannot identify, say "Nothing heard" or "Net Control did not copy the
last transmission" and then pause for at least two seconds to allow a
station who HAS heard the called station to interrupt the net].
Any late or missed stations please check-in at this time. (PAUSE)
As there is no further traffic for the net the simplex portion is now closed at [TIME]. We hope to hear you next Thursday at 1930 hours Pacific Time on the repeater portion of the net at 146.88.
This is [name], your Net Control Station, [call sign].
