Attention all radio amateurs and listening stations,

This is (your callsign), net control station for the Appalachia Amateur Radio Club Net. My

name is (your name), and I am located in (your town or township) North Carolina. This is a

directed net, and all communications will go through Net Control.

The purpose of this net is to provide communication operations, to provide training, to provide

club information related to upcoming events, to serve as a forum for discussion, and to foster

fellowship among radio amateurs. All radio amateurs are invited to participate in this net.

You do not have to be a club member to participate.

When calling this station please refer to it as “Net Control.”

(Brief pause)

The net is not being operated as an Emergency Net at this time, however; if at any time there is

an Emergency, notify Net Control by calling “Emergency or Mayday” and this frequency will

be released to you, and we will provide any assistance needed.

Do we have any Emergency or priority traffic for the net?

Thursday night as you are able. This is (your callsign) returning the repeater to normal amateur
