(Red is for information only and should not be read)

 Calling all members of the AENY Training Net. This is (callsign) located in (city/neighborhood), my name is (name). I’ll be your net control station for this session.

The Alabama Emergency Net “Y” is in liaison with the Alabama Emergency Net System and the National Traffic System. The net sponsor is the Gadsden Amateur Radio Club. Club information may be found at www.garc.org.

This net meets every Tuesday at 8:30p.m. Alabama local time on the Gadsden Amateur Radio Club 147.160 MHz repeater with a positive offset and a tone of 100 Hz. If this repeater is out of service, the net will be held on the local EMA 146.820 MHz repeater with a negative offset and a tone of 192.8 Hz. The purpose of this net is to train members to be more proficient operators during emergency situations and when handling traffic. All radio amateur operators are invited to participate.

This is a directed net. Do we have a station to serve as our liaison to Alabama Traffic Net Mike? Traffic will be listed before roll call and will be passed on or off frequency at the direction of net control.

Stations are asked to check in when the first letter in the prefix of their call sign is requested. When checking in, please give your call sign using standard phonetics, your name and location. A stand-by will be taken for late stations to participate after roll call. Stations desiring to participate must give their call sign to be acknowledged.
