Coastal Emergency Linking System

Net Procedure

This is Your Callsign asking all stations to please standby for the Coastal Emergency Linking Net. (Pause for a few seconds.)

Calling the Coastal Emergency Linking Net. This is Your Call (phonetically), your net control station. My name is Your Name and my QTH is Your Location. The Coastal Emergency Linking Net meets each Wednesday night at 2100 hours local time. I am calling the net from the callsign of the repeater in which you are accessing repeater on the Coastal Linking System. This is a directed net and an ARES affiliated net. We invite all stations to participate in our net and activities.

Is there any Emergency or Priority traffic? If so, call net control... (Pass Immediately!)

Are there any net announcements, buisness, or bulletins? If so, call now. (Allow time at this time.)

We will now standby for regular check-ins. Each station should check in alphabetically according to the first letter of your call suffix followed by your name and QTH, and listing traffic, if any. Informals my be listed, but will not take place until after the net is closed.

This is Your Callsign standing by for any mobile stations. (These maybe called upon for an informal before continuing with other check-ins.)
