Traverse Bay Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Group Net Preamble 

Good evening everyone. It is 21:00 hours and time for the Traverse Bay Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Group ARES/RACES net. For simplicity, the net is called the TBARG net. This is (insert your call) and my name is (insert your name) and I am going to be the net control station for this evening. This net meets every Monday at 21:00 on the 146.86 repeater in Traverse City and is brought to you by the Traverse Bay Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Group in cooperation with the Cherryland Amateur Radio Club of the Greater Grand Traverse area.

 This is a directed net and the purpose of this net is to make announcements of amateur radio emergency service activities in our area, to pass messages to other amateur radio stations and to alert those listening of any emergency or weather bulletins that might be affecting our area. If during an emergency this repeater is not in operation, please check the 147.100 repeater and if that is not in operation, check 146.52 simplex frequency for net operations. This is a directed net so please check in as directed by net control. Also, please notify net control if you must leave the net prior to the close of the net.

 When checking in, please give your call, first name and location so net control can determine the area being covered by this net session. Again, this is (insert your call) net control for this session of the Traverse Bay Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Group. This is a directed net.

Are there any stations with emergency traffic? Call with your emergency traffic.

Any stations with announcements please check in and give your announcement.

At this time I am going to make a roll-call of stations that regularly check into the net. Following the roll-call, I will ask for additional check-ins. Once you have checked-in, your call will be added to the roll-call for future net sessions. As I call your call, please indicate if you are on frequency.

CALL THE ROLL

I will now take additional check-ins: Mobile and hand-held stations please check-in.

Any other stations please check in at this time.

CLOSING (Review the announcements for this evening) this is (Your call) and I have been net control for the TBARG Net this evening. This net will again be held next Monday at 9 PM. I now return the repeater back to general amateur use.

DON’T FORGET, YOU ARE IN CHARGE. RUN THE NET THE WAY YOU FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE.
