This is [CALLSIGN] for W3SAT your net control for the Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network, otherwise known as SATERN. This net meets every Tuesday evening at 2000 hours localtime on the W3PGH repeater with a frequency of 146.610 and if necessary a tone of 131.8. This repeater is operated by the Greater Pittsburgh VHF Society, and this net is for the purpose of a training drill. In the event this repeater should fail, wait 2 minutes and switch to the backup repeater 146.955. For those interested the SATERN hf net meets every Saturday at 1630 UTC 7265 khz.
At this time if there is any emergency or priority traffic, please call W3SAT.

Hearing none I would like to read the following statement of purpose so everyone listening has an idea of what we accomplish. SATERN is a core of amateur radio volunteers who united themselves with the disaster services program of the Salvation Army. This group provides the Salvation Army with a nucleus of their communication support system in the event of an emergency. The primary objectives of SATERN are:
1. To develop and maintain a core of amateur radio operators skilled to handle traffic and communications and to assist the Salvation Army during times of disaster.
2. Assist in training other Salvation Army personnel to access and use the resource of amateur radio for local, regional, national and international disasters.
3. Development of training materials and exercises designed to enhance the use of amateur radio within the Salvation Army Disaster services program.
Any licensed amateur radio operator is eligible to serve as a volunteer member of the SATERN team.
The only restrictions that we require, is that they can not be currently serving as a another communication volunteer for a private relief agency such as the Red Cross. That is to avoid any conflict of interest when an emergency should arise. Volunteers may belong to RACES, ARES, SKYWARN, or any local amateur radio club.

Very well, I will now open the net for additional check-ins. You do not have to be a member of SATERN or live in Allegheny county to check in. When you check in do so by calling W3SAT, let up on your key momentarily to see if you are doubling with anyone, and then give your call, name, location and state if you have any comments or questions. And, this is [Give call] operating the SATERN net for W3SAT. I'll take your check-ins now please.
[pause]
Net stand by.
Net recognizes.
I will close the net at [give time], this is [give call] signing off on the SATERN net and returning this repeater back to general use.
