New York City District ARES Net Control Script

   Calling all radio amateurs entitled to use this frequency. This is
   (callsign) _______________, convening the New York City District ARES
   net at this time. My name is _______________ and I am located in
   _______________. Any station with an actual emergency may break this
   net at any time, inform net control that you have an emergency and
   control of the frequency will be turned over to you.
   This is the New York City District Amateur Radio Emergency Services
   weekly net. This net meets every MONDAY evening at 8:00 PM local time,
   through the generous facilities of WB2ZSE for the purposes of
   disseminating information, demonstrating readiness to participate in
   the event of an emergency, and providing training to local amateur
   radio operators for emergency and public service communications.
   We welcome and encourage all amateur operators to check into the net,
   whether they are members of ARES or not. In the event of a declared or
   undeclared emergency, all available operators are asked to stand by on
   this frequency for instructions. This is a directed net, which means
   that all contacts should be made through net control, and stations
   should not leave the net without advising net control.

   As one purpose of tonight's net is to learn and practice good
   operating procedure, please check in when your callsign group is
   called, and state whether you have traffic for the net. Please speak
   slowly and clearly, there is no need to rush.  The check in for each
   group will be repeated until no more check-ins are heard.  Please call
   net control by calling my callsign first.  Release the push to talk
   button.  Wait until you are certain that no one else is speaking.
   Then check-in with your callsign, name, and location.  State if you
   have traffic.  We will begin now.

   The net will now call for stations with callsigns beginning with the
   letter "A". [When no  more stations call, recognize those who have
   checked-in and proceed to the next group]

   The net will now call for stations with callsigns beginning with the
   letter "W". [When no more stations call, recognize those who have
   checked-in and proceed to the next group]

   The net will now call for stations with callsigns beginning with the
   letter "K".  [When no more stations call, recognize those who have
   checked-in and proceed to the next group]

   The net will now call for stations with callsigns beginning with the
   letter "N".  [When no more stations call, recognize those who have
   checked-in and proceed to the next group]

   The net will now call for stations who have not yet checked-in. [When
   no more stations call, recognize those who have checked-in and
   proceed.]
