My name is Name and my call sign is Call Sign. I will be the net control operator for this session of the net.
If any operator has priority traffic anytime during this net, please use the double break and give your call sign and the net will recognize you and handle your traffic.
This net meets every Monday night on the W5DSC repeater at 8:00 P.M. on this frequency of 145.190 MHZ or the alternate frequency of 145.130 MHZ , both repeaters have a negative offset and require a PL tone of 103.5 HZ.

Once again, this is Call Sign on the W5DSC repeater with the Victoria Amateur Radio Club and the Coleto Creek Amateur Radio Club’s Combined Monday Night Net.
We will start this session of the net with points of interest. If you have any amateur radio related points of interest you would like to share with those listening to this net, please give your call sign now and the net control operator will recognize you.
[Pause for points of interest]
With no other points of interest, we will now move on to the Check-In portion of the net.
When you check in, please key your mike and wait at least one full second and then say “This Is”, then wait one full second before you release your mike and listen for any other station(s) that may be doubling with you. If nothing is heard then key your mike again and wait at least one full second before you give your full call sign Slowly and phonetically followed with your name and location. Remember, Hold your mike key on for one full second after you stop talking as our repeaters need this extra time to send out the last words of your transmission. This will hopefully avoid the repeater from cutting off the first and last part of your message. This delay also gives the net control operator a little more time to record your Check-In accurately.
Check-ins, please call now…
[Log check-ins]
[Pause after Check-Ins stop]
[Roll call each check-in station ]
---------------
I will now call on the stations that have checked in for comments. Please let us know if you have any needs for assistance from our ham community such as ham gear wanted or technical assistance or physical help. Also please let us know what you can offer back to our ham community in terms of ham related items for sale, donation, technical advice, or physical assistance. You also have the opportunity to advertise for any ham radio related items or equipment that you would like to buy, sell, or trade. If you know of any individual or group that may be interested in Amateur Radio Exams, Testing, or Training classes, please contact any club officer.
Remember, wait approximately one full second after you press your Push-To-Talk (PTT) key before you begin to talk and after you stop talking to avoid the repeater cutting off the first and/or last part of your transmission.
