2 METER NET SCRIPT
Welcome to the Big Bend Amateur Radio Club’s 2 meter Wednesday evening net.
This is (call sign) and my name is (name).
This is a registered net and the net manager is Chuck Dobbins – KA5PVB.
Is there any priority or emergency traffic before we begin our net?
The purpose of the net is to check the operation of the repeater system equipment, your station’s equipment and to provide a weekly round-table for news and information.
All of our repeaters are set to standard offsets, BUT do require a 146.2 sub-audile PL tone to be encoded on your transmit signal in order to access the repeaters.
This is an open net and we always look forward to welcoming visiting stations.
This is a directed net, so please direct traffic through Net Control. We will give permission to go “station to station” direct, but please request it through net control.
We will start with a roll call taking “in-and-out” and Mobile check ins first, then we will go to each repeater. If you’re not sure when to check-in, feel free to check-in at any time.
After the check-ins we will move to the round-table.
Net Control will pause between transmissions for priority or emergency traffic and we encourage everyone to do the same.
Our repeaters all have a 3-minute time out timer, so be aware of this during the round-table.
At this time I will pause to let the repeaters reset and allow for any priority or emergency traffic.

We will now begin the Round-Table…. (generally begin at the top of the list and work down, so you don’t leave anyone out of the discussion).
After the Round-table is completed….
