>1.	Listen before you transmit.  
>2.	Make short transmissions!  
>3.   Do not interrupt the net unless you have
>emergency or priority traffic.
>4.   Do not tie up the net with unnecessary
>information or talking.

>happen in 90 seconds!
>5.  All transmissions are to be directed to Net
>Control.  As far as the net is concerned, the NCS is
>the Boss, and the Boss makes the decisions.
>
>** if you need to call another station, simply ask NCS
>for words with
>     so and so.  The NCS can direct you to simplex or
>allow for a brief
>     conversation on the repeater frequency **
>6.  If an emergency comes up or you see an emergency,
>immediately notify the NCS.  The NCS will then decide
>the proper course to take to report the emergency!  Do
>not break the net to make autopatches!  This
>ties up the net and may actually delay the reporting
>of the emergency.
>
>An example:  You are mobile on RT 78 by exit 36.  You
>come upon a traffic accident.  What is quicker,
>notifying NCS of the accident and NCS will phone it
>directly to NJ State Police, or bringing up the
>autopatch, getting a dispatcher in Hunterdon County,
>to report an accident in Somerset or Union County,
>giving him the info, The dispatcher then has to call
>the State Police on the phone (providing he/she
>doesn't get more 911 calls in the process) and
>delaying it further!!
> 
>7.	 Do not leave or secure from the net unless you
>receive permission from the NCS in a formal net, for
>informal net, just tell NCS that you
>Are clearing.

>If you are checking in from home, make sure you have

>Instructions for being the Net Control Station.
>1.  Before starting the net, make sure you have a pen
>and some paper to write down callsigns, names, and
>other information.  If you are running a traffic net,
>ARES or
>RACES net, you should have the phone numbers for the
>State Police handy.
>2.  The Net control Station, or NCS acts like a
>traffic cop at a busy intersection.  
>NCS is not the chief of police, nor the FCC, but
>he/she is in charge of the net. The NCS decides what
>traffic gets passed when and where. 
>3.	When calling the net, you should ask if anyone has
>emergency or priority traffic, and then pause for
>about 15 seconds to listen.  If someone has an
>emergency or priority traffic, ask them the specifics
>and assist them, or ask if anyone on the net can
>assist. 
>4.	If there is no emergency or priority traffic, then
>do a call up.  Ask stations calling in to give their
>callsigns and names and an indication of traffic or
>announcements.
>5.	It's customary to make 2 or 3 general calls before
>taking care of any net business, such as passing
>messages, announcements, etc.  Do not forget to give
>your own callsign over the air.
>6.	Before closing the net, make one final call up for
>late check in's.
>7.	Close the net, thank all stations for checking in,
>and also the owners of the repeater, and clear as you
>would in a normal qso.
