At 1930 hours

Good evening. This is the Santa Cruz County ARES net. We meet here every Wednesday evening at 1930 hours on linked repeaters, K6BJ 2M, WR6AOK and K6RMW/W.  On the 3rd Wednesday of the month, an ARES meeting is held in person at the Santa Cruz County EOC at 5200 Soquel Avenue, Chanticleer door entrance.  This net is for EMERGENCY preparedness.  All amateur radio operators are welcome. 

<Pause>

This is a DIRECTED net, so please do not transmit until indicated by Net Control. Those with priority or emergency traffic can interrupt at any time by saying “Priority! Or Emergency!”.  Is there any emergency traffic now?  

<Pause>

We’ll begin the net with check-ins, followed by a 2nd exercise. Please pause before speaking and between transmissions so you are not cut off and to allow for the links to work.  When your call-sign suffix group is called, please check in using standard phonetics, speaking slowly and clearly, followed by your name and location.  I will ask for traffic later in the net.  

This is <NAME>, <CALL-SIGN PHONETICS> in <LOCATION>, Net Control.

Stations with call-sign suffixes from Alpha thru Foxtrot please come now. 

<Write down and acknowledge all call signs heard>

Ask for Announcements:
Does anyone have any reports or announcements of general interest to the group?  If so, please give me your call sign now.

<Pause> <moderate announcements – acknowledge all call signs who have an announcement, then call on them one by one, until complete.>

This is <CALL-SIGN>  
<Insert your 2nd exercise script here, or proceed to CONCLUSION if there is no 2nd exercise>

CONCLUSION (IF NO 2ND EXERCISE)

If you haven’t already done so, please enroll in our ARES mailing list on our website, xczcomm.com under the Resources tab.

Is there anyone else to check in or anything else for the good of this net before we close? 

<Pause - Handle any reply, then repeat question before closing.> 

This concludes our weekly Amateur Radio Emergency Service preparedness net. Thank you to those who maintain our repeaters and to you all for participating.
