Prerequisites
If you are using the on-line checkin web page, please
try working with it a bit before you run a net.
The web page is primitive, at best, and it is not difficult to
discard your logs with a misplaced click/button-press.
There is no communication between the web server and the logging
entries you are making on the web page. A misplaced refresh or
back space will bring up a fresh copy of the web page from the icarc
server, the result being you loose everything.
You can, at any time, save a local copy of the web page.
That local copy can be brought up in your web browser, but
practice recovering from a misplaced keystroke before the net.
There are two saved files (at least when using the machine hosting the website),
an HTML file with your log entries,
and a GIF file (image file: ICARC_Logo_small.gif).
Send the HTML file to the club email listed above and it will
get posted to the website.
And, now that you're ready, a few minutes prior to the net
call for a signal report to verify your station is working
correctly and you're siglan is clear & strong.
Part 1, Introduction
PLEASE NOTE:
Do not think with your finger on the PTT key !!!
If you need time to collect your thoughts RELEASE THE CHANNEL !!!
Take your finger off ther PTT button !!!
You may simply give out a "STANDBY" command to indicate you are not releasing control.
When you hold the channel for extended periods you block EMERGENCY TRAFFIC,
this is particularly egregious when not talking!
Participants will patiently wait for you to return.
All stations on frequency this is
callsign
calling the Johnson County Sunday Evening Net.
My name is
name
and I am located in
location.
This net meets every Sunday evening at 7:30 PM. local time
and I will be your
ACE or
Net Control this evening.
We typically have met on the WØJV repeater, 146.85 in Iowa City
although as of late we have been using the 147.150 machine, also in Iowa
City.
Please set your CTCSS access tone to 192.8 Hz for either repeater.
Although this is an informal net, it is a directed net.
We encourage participants to share
ham radio news.
Stations with emergency traffic may break in at any time
by using the words “break” or “break emergency”
along with their call sign.
Poll for club related traffic prior to the roll call.
(the club president, for example)
Before beginning roll call, is there any official traffic from the Iowa City ARC?
We typically hear from the president concerning upcoming events.
We may hear from the treasurer about how to remit
dues.
Part 2, Upcoming Meeting (only on the Sunday prior to the
meeting)
Notes:
If this is the net before the upcoming
announce it and ask for who is bringing support
equipment and such.
IF THE MEETING IS NOT THIS WEDNESDAY, SKIP THIS!
The monthly meeting is this Wednesday at the
First United Methodist Church of North Liberty
located at 85 N. Jones Blvd.
You will find directions in the upcoming meeting
section on the main web page.
David, K0LUM, please report on the status of the Zoom link
when you check in.
Also, whoever plans to bring a computer to host the
meeting, please report your status as you check in.
Part 3, Roll Call
Notes:
V1.5 of the software that formats the participant Roll adds phonetic callsigns for your convenience.
Don't take this as the use phonetics being required! (I just can't always think that fast:-)
I will now call the roll of those who frequently check in.
Please acknowledge with your call sign and let me know if you have traffic.
Net control will typically pick up traffic at checkin.
Net control will then reopen the net for additional check-ins.
Notes:
The link to the roll call web page
may be direclty edited and saved.
You may also print a hardcopy
to mark the old-fashioned way.
There are empty slots for those
not listed on the roll.

Failing that our last backup is
Tertiary.
Please jump in to start the net if you don't hear it starting as planned,
passing control over to the

If, for example, the Primary would
have radio problems at the start of the net.
