SUBJ: NNN0AS3 THREE BCST: FREQUENCY USAGE REPORTS
1. EACH MONTH I RECEIVE A REPORT FROM EACH STATE THREE SHOWING ALL FREQUENCIES USED WITHIN THAT STATE'S BOUNDARY. I COMPILE THIS DATA AND SUBMIT MY REPORT TO THE AREA THREE WHICH COMPILES EACH REGION REPORT AND SUBMITS AN AREA REPORT TO THE NATIONAL STAFF. EACH MONTH I NOTICE INCONSISTENCIES IN THE STATE REPORTS WHICH LEAD TO A DELAY IN FILING THE REGION REPORT AS CLARIFICATION IS SOMETIMES NEEDED. THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP GET ALL STATES ON THE SAME PAGE WHICH WILL NOT ONLY MAKE THE REPORTS EASIER TO READ BUT WILL ALSO MAKE THEM EASIER TO CREATE.
2. MANAGING FREQUENCY USAGE IS NOT A DIFFICULT TASK. IT DOES TAKE AN EFFORT TO MAKE SURE ALL USAGE IS REPORTED. THIS PROCESS DOES NOT START AT THE STATE STAFF LEVEL, HOWEVER, AS ALL MEMBERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING THEIR USAGE OF FREQUENCIES OUTSIDE OF A NET. NET CONTROL STATIONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING THEIR NET FREQUENCY USAGE AND MEMBER PARTICIPATION TO THEIR STATE STAFF. NET CONTROL STATIONS SHOULD SUBMIT THESE REPORTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, OR ACCORDING TO LOCAL POLICY, SO THE STATE STAFF CAN PROCESS THESE REPORTS IN A TIMELY MANNER.
3. IF A MEMBER UTILIZES A FREQUENCY OUTSIDE OF A NET, I.E. ALE, THEN THEY SHOULD FILE A FREQUENCY USAGE REPORT TO THEIR STATE STAFF AT THE END OF EACH MONTH SO THE STATE STAFF CAN INCLUDE THIS USAGE IN THEIR STATE REPORTS.
4. THE FREQUENCY USAGE REPORT SHOULD BE FORMATTED AS FOLLOWS:
BT
UNCLAS
SUBJ: FREQUENCY USAGE REPORT FOR MONTH YEAR
1. READ IN FIVE COLUMNS
FREQ MODE DAYS HRS MSGS
XXX XXX XX XX XX
2. TOTAL MESSAGES: XX

5. THE FREQUENCY SHOULD BE THE DESIGNATOR OF THE HF FREQUENCY AND NOT THE ACTUAL FREQUENCY. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS ARE VHF FREQUENCIES WHICH ARE NUMERICALLY SPELLED OUT IN KHZ.
6. THE MODE CAN BE EITHER SSB FOR SINGLE SIDEBAND, SCD FOR SINGLE CHANNEL DATA, CW FOR CARRIER WAVE (MORSE CODE), SSTV FOR SLOW SCAN TELEVISION, OR FM FOR FREQUENCY MODULATION. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT VHF PACKET IS NOT FM BUT RATHER FSK WHICH IS REPORTED AS SCD.
7. THE DAYS, HOURS, AND MESSAGES ARE ALL REPORTED NUMERICALLY AS IS THE TOTAL MESSAGE COUNT AT THE END OF THE MESSAGE.
8. THE REGION REPORT IS DUE TO THE AREA NLT THE 5TH OF THE MONTH. I WOULD APPRECIATE RECEIVING ALL STATE REPORTS NLT THE 4TH OF THE MONTH SO I HAVE A DAY TO COMPILE THEM.

SUBJ: NET PROCEDURES FOR 3X1B POSTED TO REGION THREE WEBSITE
1. I TOOK AN IDEA FROM REGION FOUR TO HAVE AN EASY TO READ DOCUMENT THAT OUTLINES ALL THE TEXT NEEDED TO RUN THE 3X1B NET TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR NEW NET CONTROL STATIONS TO TAKE CONTROL AND RUN THE NET.
2. ALSO INCLUDED IS THE SLIGHTLY IMPROVED NET REPORT TEMPLATE WHICH WILL COLLECT ANOTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT WILL BE USED IN STATISTICAL PRESENTATIONS IN THE FUTURE.
3. PLEASE REVIEW THIS DOCUMENTATION AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH IT.
