Is there any business for the repeater before I take it for the net?
This is [your call sign].


Preamble

  This is [your call sign], net control for the Fall River Amateur Radio Club ARES net.  This net is held weekly on Thursday at 7:00 PM, in association with the Fall River Emergency Management Agency.  Net control tonight is [your name and call sign].  This is a directed net for emergency communication training purposes.  All check-ins and traffic are to be directed to net control.  Stations not wishing to participate in the net are requested to stand by until the net has ended, although any station is welcome to participate and encouraged to do so.

  We will now take check-ins.  If you are checking in, begin by saying �This is�, then drop carrier momentarily to check for doubling.  You may then transmit your call sign, first name, location, whether you are a base, mobile or portable unit, and whether you have any traffic or announcements.  Any check-ins please come now.  This is [your call sign], net control.
