ETS NET CONTROL SCRIPT (rev 03/21/13)
I. Introduction:

Good evening, Welcome to the ETS Wednesday night general information 
net. This net is operated and sponsored by the Electronic Technology 
Society of N.J., Inc. “ETS”.  This is the Watchung repeater at 146.940, 
with a PL of 141.3 using the call K2ETS. We also run a backup repeater 
at a secondary site on the same frequency and call using a PL of 151.4.
The club also operates a 220 repeater on 223.96, using the same call 
with a PL of 110.9. The 220 repeater is normally linked to the Raritan 
Valley Radio Club’s W2QW 440 repeater at 442.250 using a PL of 141.3. 
The 440 repeater offers IRLP, Allstar, as well as Echolink.
Thanks to the generosity of the Raritan Valley Radio Club, we have also 
used their W2QW repeater at 146.625 with a PL of 141.3.
We normally link the K2ETS and the W2QW repeaters for our nets.
The Raritan Valley Radio Club holds an informational social net on 
Sundays at 8pm. All radio amateurs are invited to participate with 
access available via all the repeaters that I just mentioned, including 
Echolink and All-star.
RVRC also operates a repeater on 927.050.

for this evening's session. Anyone having traffic for the net should 
direct their information to net control when acknowledged.

I will now call for Check-In's. All stations wishing to be recognized 
please provide your Callsign, Name, and the Town you are calling from. 
Non-members are always welcome, so please feel free to join in. As Net 
control, I kindly ask that all stations wishing to Check-in, please 
wait for the current station to be acknowledged by Net Control to avoid 
multiple key-ups and the possibility of a missed check-in. Any stations 
not wishing to participate in the net can check in and state 
“supporting the net” - we’d be happy to hear that you are out there.
All stations wishing to join us tonight please call Net Control at this 
time, but remember that with the various linked repeaters you should 
wait about 2-3 seconds to talk after hitting the Push-To-Talk, and that 
there is no “courtesy beep” or Squelch tail.
