here you will find the scripts for Net Control Operators to use for Wednesday and Saturday nets. In the future, we hope to have script and logger for emergencies. As you perform the net, write down the call ins and make any notes for issues. After the net is closed, go to the form below and fill in who contacted. In the message area, note any issues people had (not a clear signal, several attempts made, relay needed, etc), note any none member call ins and any issues with equipment or contacts. Also add in of course, any emergency messages, and any messages relayed by the net or others about weather or other issues, i.e. did you hear we are in a flood watch, or there was a giant brown bear wondering my neighborhood. The club’s secretary will the enter this in the clubs permanent logbook for record keeping. Thank you for running the net.
