Script (Read all in BOLD below)

"Calling all amateurs, calling all amateurs. Good evening and welcome to the Lancaster Radio Transmitting Society Thursday night net. Net control for this evening is ___________________, my name is________________ and I am located in ____________________. Any stations with priority or emergencytraffic please call now…

Ok, nothing heard…I will now proceed with roll call.

"Roll call is as follows"

**Read the current roll call sheet**

Mark check-ins with traffic with a "T" and go back and get their traffic after roll call and new check-in time.

Acknowledge check-ins as you receive them, for example, "Good evening W-3-A-D, good evening Mark.

"That is roll call as I have it. I will now take a standby for any late or new check-ins. If you are a new checkin to the net, please give me your name, call sign, and location. Late or new check-ins, please call now."

** Record late and new check-ins now. Give them some time to check in and recognize them. Example: Net recognizes W-3-A-D, good evening Mark.

"Next I will move onto traffic."

**Give club traffic first, then allow those who indicated traffic to give their traffic.

"First I have a little club traffic:"

1. The 145.39 repeater has a PL of 118.8, this PL allows you to access our south and west receiver, hence providing greater receive coverage area. You may turn the PL off by pressing 2* and back on with 1*.

3. If you are interested in joining the club, please call Jeff, n3tpl at 717-492-9303 or visit our website at www.LRTS.org

4. The unofficial Friday night club dinner is held at the 2 Cousins restaurant in Manheim.

*Traffic--- acknowledge anyone with traffic now.

Example: W3AD go ahead with your traffic Mark, this is XXXXX net control.

"I will now take another standby for any late or new check-ins. Late or new check-ins, please call now."

"Next we will move onto equipment for sale or purchase. Anyone looking to buy or sell equipment, please call now."

**Acknowledge those stations with equipment now. It is advised to take notes, and later read back to the net what the person wants or wants to get rid of.

"I will now take one last stand-by for any late or new check-ins now. Late or new check-ins, please call now."

"We will now close this session of the Lancaster Radio Transmitting Society Thursday Night Net. We had a total of ________ check-ins. I'd like to thank everyone that participated in this session of the LRTS Net.
