Net Control Operators Info

Good <time of day greeting> this the ‘NorCars’ net - North Central Amateur Radio Service.

It is an open net and all amateur radio operators are welcome. It is a directed net and your net control is <station call sign>, my name is <operator name> and I am located <station QTH> The purpose of the service is to provide road, weather and gas price information for mobile amateur radio operators. The net meets daily at 8:15A EST, 7:15AM CST and again at 5:00PM EST, 4:00PM CST on 7.197 with 7.195 as our alternate frequency. When checking into the net let please us know if you are on short time for immediate service, more about NorCars can be found at our web site www.norcars.net

As has been the custom of the net since 9/11 we take a 15 second pause at the start of the net to honor our veterans and those in and out of uniform working daily to preserve our freedoms.

15 seconds please.

After the 15 second pause please state the following:

Before I call on mobiles are there any serious road or weather conditions that need to be announced at this time?

Then mobiles and or portables before fixed stations.

At the top of the hour state the following: ‘This is the North Central Amateur Radio Service we will take another 15 second pause to honor our veterans and those in and out uniform working daily to preserve our freedoms.
