Sullivan County ARES Net Script

This script is for reference.

This is W1SUL calling the Sullivan County ARES net.  The purpose of this net is to conduct training in emergency communications within the Sullivan County NH area.  This net is for training purposes. Any emergency traffic is simulated.  If this were an actual emergency it would be announced at this time.

This is a directed net, but may be broken at any time for emergency communications.

All licensed amateur radio operators interested in training in emergency skills and desiring to contribute to ARES activities are invited to check into this net.

Should the repeater system fail during the net, activities will continue as simplex operations on 147.555 MHz. Those stations beyond simplex range of net control may meet on six-meter simplex at 50.200 MHz, upper sideband. A Liaison station back to the 2-meter net will be chosen from among those meeting on six meters.

When checking into the net state your call sign , your location, name, and whether you hold traffic or other business for the net.
