EMCOMM NET CONTROL FORMAT TUESDAY EVENING AT 7:00 LOCAL TIME Net control Operators, remember you are running this net. You should exercise your own individual style. Please use the following script as a guide which would ensure that you cover all of the elements of a good net. Keep the net interesting and light ( a little humor won’t hurt anything).
