When the Net is opened, please come slowly and phonetically and I will stop at approximately 5 calls per invite. When you are called into the net, please tell us your first name, rough location and what is going on in your world.

This may be a good time to ask a question that can drum up conversation

– Is anyone following the DX-pedition to [insert place here], did you make a contact?
– Operating preferences? VHF/UHF/HF/moon bounce/etc.

[name, call-sign phonetics], will be my backup controller in case my station goes down unexpectedly. [name] also logs the contacts for us and has been posting them on our Facebook page.

Now, without any further delay, is there any priority traffic?

– Relax, there are going to be callers, potentially many, and over each other.
– Just grab what you can out of the noise. Don’t be afraid, ask them to repeat their call-sign if you only caught part of it.

This is where you will be repeating the call for check-ins as you work through the list of radio operators. Towards the end of the net when things settle down, make a few calls similar to those below.

This will be the second last call for check-ins to the Kings County Amateur Radio Club VHF net.
