Calling all amateur radio operators:
This is _______________________. My name is ______________________ and I am located in ________________________. I am net control station for this Thursday, ____________________________ 20_____, Session of the North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee SKYWARN traing net.

(BREAK)

This net meets weekly on Thursday of each week at 8:00 P.M., and involves the local area link frequency, which links the 147.240 repeater near Huntsville, Alabama, the 147.36 repeater in Section, Alabama, and the 146.960 repeater near Moulton, Alabama.

(BREAK)

The purpose of this net is to practice net operations similar to those used during emergency activation. When emergency activation is required, based on procedures outlined in the Standard Operating Procedures, this net would activate as the North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee SKYWARN Emergency Net. The purpose of the emergency net is to spot and track severe weather and to provide a communications network that links the counties in North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee to the National Weather Service office in Huntsville, Alabama. The goal of this net is to provide the citizens of the Huntsville NWS Office coverage area with the earliest possible forewarning of severe weather effecting this area.

(BREAK)

Please be advised that during an actual emergency, only net liaison stations would check in to this net. Your counties depend on your participation in the local nets. However, since this is a training net, all stations that have not checked in with a local training net this week or need to test equipment are encouraged to check in to this training net. If any station needs additional information about this net or needs a copy of the SOP, please contact this station after the net.

(BREAK)

This is a directed net and stations may not call other stations without the consent and acknowledgement of this station.
This is _____________________, are there any stations with emergency or priority traffic for this net?

(BREAK)

At this time I will proceed with the roll call of counties in North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee, in alphabetical order. At the end of the roll call, I will reserve some time for out of area check-ins and late check-ins. When you check in, I ask that you check in slowly and clearly, giving your call sign phonetically, your name, your location, that is your city, town or community, and whether or not you have any traffic for this net.
