Notes:

1. Don't forget to ID once in a while to let those listening in know who we are! Every minutes and/or every round of check-ins is a good idea (and more than legally required)

2. You may use either of the club calls (N3SH is shown, or WA3SH) or your own.

3. Substitute the appropriate date as necessary. Regular club meetings are the 2nd Thursday of the month, at the Peters Township Library. VE Tests are the 3rd Thursday of the month, every quarter, at the Peters Township Library. WASH Club Breakfast is on the LAST Saturday of the month, the location varies. You may mention the VE Tests & Club Breakfasts at your discretion.

Calling all amateurs, calling all amateurs, calling; good evening, this is N3SH, with (Net Control Station callsign) operating, Net Control this evening for the Wireless Association of South Hills Sunday Evening Weekly FM Net. We meet here every Sunday evening at 2100 local time on the 146.955 and 443.650 repeater systems. This is a directed net and all calls made to the net will first go through the net control station.

The purpose of this net is to provide on air training in emergency communications, coordination of ARES activities, and for the exchange of information of interest to the club and amateur radio community. All amateurs are invited to check in; you do not need to be a member of our club to participate.

(Break to allow the repeater to reset)

Once a month this net will be conducted on a simplex frequency on a band announced in advance. Please consult N3SH.org for this schedule.

I will now open the net by checking for any emergency or priority traffic. Any emergency or priority traffic ONLY, please call N3SH, net control, now.”

(Handle any traffic appropriately. When finished continue on.)

Hearing no (further) emergency traffic, I will now open the net to mobile and portable check-ins; mobile and portable check-ins ONLY at this time. When checking in, please give my call, pause to see if anyone else is attempting to check in, and then give your call, name, QTH and please state whether or not you have any comments for the net.” Mobile or portable stations please call now.

(At this time start to take mobile/portable check-ins. When finished continue.)

(Note who has comments but wait to call on check-ins with comments after 1 or 2 rounds of general check-ins.)

I will now open the net to general check-ins; you do not need to be a member of our club to check in. General check-ins, please call N3SH, Net Control for the Wireless Association of South Hills Weekly FM Net now.”

(Start to take general check-ins. After 1 or 2 rounds of check-ins as you feel appropriate, go back and pick up comments. Go with Club Officers & committeemen first, then general comments. After every 2nd or 3rd set of comments, depending on length and call for additional check-ins.)

To close the net:

Hearing no further check-ins, I will now close the net.” We had (x) check-ins this evening and the net lasted approximately (y) minutes). “I would like thank the owners of the N3SH and N3FB repeater systems for allowing their use for our weekly net and for our everyday communications. For the Wireless Association of South Hills this is N3SH saying 73 and returning the repeater back to general amateur use. The net is closed. Good evening.”
