Hello, is this frequency in use? [Wait

Stations with emergency traffic may break in at any time.

communications. You do not need to be a member of NERT to participate in this

your location and if you have any traffic for the net.
Before we start check-ins, is there any
emergency or priority traffic? If so, please come now with your call sign. [wait 5 seconds for any traffic with sqetch open]
Hearing none, I’d like to start with regular check ins.

relayed into you.]
[callsign]
Can you do a general call and see if there is anyone needing a relay into to

from primary net control]
