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 Wachung 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.
My name is _______ and my Callsign is _______, I will be net control 
for this evening's session.
  Anyone having traffic for the net should direct their information to 
net control when acknowledged.

II. Check-In's:
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,
