When you check-in please give your call, your name, your present location and state what kind of

power source you are using for your transceiver.

We will check-in mobile stations first, followed by short time stations and then everyone else.

All mobile stations ONLY please check in now. (ask mobile stations for comments in order they checked in, before continuing with net, so they may check out once they have reached their destination)

All short time stations please check in now.

(do not ask short time stations for comments, that is the idea of a short time station)

Anyone wishing to check-in please do so now. (drop carrier, log all check-ins)

We will now recall all check-ins and ask for your comments. (call each station, in the order of check-in.)

(after recalling all check-ins, ask for additional check-ins, and for additional comments)

Is there any further business for the DeForest Amateur Radio Club net, if so call now. (drop carrier, listen for further business)

Since there is no further business for this net, the net is closed at ________ PM with (number) check-ins.

This is _______________ returning the repeater to normal service.

After completing the net, please log the following and forward to the club vice-president:
