[Oremem/Idamem] net control helpers needed

[ke7et]

To all Oregon members:
We are short of net control operators.
Its fun and easy to run a net...and good practice too!
I am not asking you make any commitments. Just, if you are monitoring a =
net and no net control starts by 3 minutes after the hour, just jump in =
and start the net. No experience necessary.Every one should know how to =
open and operate a net as a net control station. In case of emergency, =
you may be the only one who can open an emergency net.
 Here is the preamble:
as an example I will use the 5pm daily net-
AAA0OR/C,AAA0OR/C, a long count and a fifty second clear period follows =
for adjustment of equipment.1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-niner-0, out.

next ,wait fifty seconds. then:
AAA0OR/C,AAA0OR/C, this is(your mars call here), are there any checkins =
or business for the net----pause and listen for checkins.
Get checkins logged in,ask for net business or training, complete net =
business or training, put the net informal, ask for comments. Every once =
in a while call for checkins.When comments are completed,place the net =
on free time after conclusion oaf all business.At closing time say
AAA0OR/C this net is closed.
That's all their is to it.Don't be afraid to try, you can always asked a =
member who checked in to be alternate net control and help you. If you =
make a mistake don't worry, someone will help you correct it.
Thanks to all members who are acting as net control stations and who are =
helping by opening nets that have no net controller.
