This is callsign, my name is ______________, and I'll be your net control station for this session of the D/FW Metroplex Late Traffic Net. This is a local affiliate of the ARRLs National Traffic System. Our purposes are to move traffic into and out of the D/FW area through the NTS. Stations checking into this net should be willing to take traffic if necessary. All stations licensed for 2-meter operation are welcomed and encouraged to participate. This is a directed net, so please do not transmit without direction from net control. All traffic, bulletins and announcements should be listed within the first 10 minutes of the net operation.


Stations with emergency or priority traffic may enter the net at any time by using the prosign BREAK-BREAK followed by your call sign.

Be sure to take checkins periodically throughout the net. Any traffic not passed can be carried over to the DFW Early Session through the DFW Early Liaison.

When all traffic has been passed that can be passed, and all other net business has been completed, give the postamble and shut down the net.
