Bringing
up a net Be prepared to be NCS if you are the first one on frequency.
|
|
- write down the call signs.
|
|
- pay attention.

Net
Liaisons Make sure you have two radios if you sign up to be a
liaison. Don’t leave either net
without clearance or permission. Don’t
just “check in.”
|
|
Simplex/Repeater
There is no courtesy tone on simplex, don’t be too fast on the key. There is no repeater time out on simplex
either. Keep your transmissions short.
|
|
Subnets
Some nets will have “command and control” subnets, either on the same
band or another band. Some information
from EC to NCS will be passed that way, rather than by the net to reduce
overall traffic. Make sure you know if
your plan calls for a c&c subnet.
|
|
“Mouth Piece” ECs and
AECs are busy. They may “talk to the
net” through designated people.
Traffic from these stations should be treated as if coming directly
from the EC/AEC on-site.
|
|
Where
to Turn Know and have a copy of
your jurisdictions plan and frequency list in your go kit and where ever else
your radio might be. Keep it current!
