This is (your call), SKYWARN Net Control and at this time we are securing the SKYWARN Net. We would like to thank the Black Diamond Amateur Radio Club for the use of their 145.370-(100.0) repeater as well for Chris Hatcher's 444.425+(100.0) repeater. We would also like to thank all stations who participated in the SKYWARN net, and for those who stood by while the net was conducted.

We are now returning the repeater(s) to their regular service.

This net is now secure. Seven, Three everyone. This is (your callsign).
