Milpitas ARES®/RACES

Good evening.  This is (your name and call sign), net control for the Milpitas ARES/RACES Radio Net.  Is there any emergency or priority traffic? (Pause - if anyone has priority traffic at any time, allow them to handle it before continuing with anything else)

This net may be broken for any emergency or priority traffic.  For information on this net see our web site at www.w6mlp.org or send e-mail to KE6TIM@ARRL.NET.  This net meets at 7:15 p.m. every Tuesday on the W6MLP repeater, 224.72MHz minus offset and 100Hz PL or 145.43MHz minus offset and 85.4Hz PL.

The purpose of this net is to support and train Ham Radio Operators for emergency communications.  We invite all to use this net to announce Amateur radio events, activities, resources and training in support of the City of Milpitas, Santa Clara County and the general community.  This is a directed net and all traffic should be coordinated by Net Control.

Are there any visitors or guests?  Please check in now. (Welcome guests)

We will now do member check-ins by roll call.  The roll call consists of the stations that check in most frequently and it is not a complete membership list.  Please reply as called and indicate whether you have any questions or announcements. (Acknowledge check-ins and note any questions or announcements.   These will be handled later.)

# (If today is one of the first three weeks in January, April, July, or October, include the following) When you respond, please also indicate if you will be attending the SVECS Breakfast.  The SVECS Breakfast is held on the 4th Saturday of each quarter at 9:00 a.m.

    (See roll call list on last page.)

(At the end of the roll call list ask for any additional MARES Members who wish to check in.) Are there any additional member check-ins? (Acknowledge and note these--do a follow-up call to make sure no one was doubled or missed.)

(If there are no questions or announcements, skip the next step. Otherwise, call for each station that has a question or announcement...) (Call or Name of station with q or a), go ahead with your item.

Net Control experience is an essential part of Emergency Communications and Ham Radio.  The Net Control duties rotate with the members of this net.  See the current list on our web site.  If you are scheduled to be Net Control and have questions about this net or will not be available please send e-mail to Marc KG6RDM@ARRL.NET.

This Net Script and further Net Control Operation Procedures are available on our web site at www.w6mlp.org.

At this time I'd like ask if next week's Net Control Operator is on frequency?  The Net Control Operator should be (the operator noted in the MARES E-mail.)

(Acknowledge Net Control Volunteer - ask if he/she has any questions about Net Control duties)

Milpitas ARES is responsible for Net Control duties for the 8 p.m. SVECS County Net on a rotating basis with other cities as scheduled.  The SVECS Net Control Script is also available from our web site. (Milpitas is scheduled for SVECS Net Control on: 11/17/2009)

Are there any late check-ins? (Acknowledge and note these)

Any further late check-ins may do so during the SVECS County Net at 8p.m. All are invited to listen to the SVECS net on the AA6BT Repeater 146.115 MHz +offset 100Hz PL.

This is (your call sign) closing the Milpitas ARES Net at (current time) with (number) check-ins, and returning the repeater to normal operation.

This is (your call sign), 73's and thanks to all who checked in tonight.

After the net, please E-mail the count and a list of who checked in to Marc: KG6RDM@ARRL.NET
