Announcing "NET CONTROL" !

Net Control???? What are they up to now?


If you bought an FRS radio because you wanted to be connected to your neighbors and CERT during a disaster, storm or other important events and you wanted the added feature of having a Neighborhood Watch Emergency Network and you have been waiting for improvements and help learning your radio. Now you will be able to practice once a week and get help... Watch and listen as we grow this network to include all that think it is a good idea.

Here is how it works.... Get your radio adjusted to CH 6.16 or CH 6 if you have trouble doing that or have a radio that won't adjust to CH 6.16. Make sure your batteries are ready to go for this Sunday.

Sunday evening and every Sunday evening we are going have the LVH emergency net. Precisely, at 7:00PM, You will hear our first Net Controller come on the air and announce to all that are listening that the net is beginning. He will tell you how it will go and what to say...

After Tom explains the Net you will here a check in process. There will be pauses as he records who has spoken to him and their signal strength. We have about 16 people who will help us this first time. You can participate at the end of the first roll call when Tom asks if there are any late or missed stations.. Just key your Mike and say the same things you have heard other people say... You need to know your first name and your lot or mailbox #... Tom will do the rest....

First times out of the box are always interesting and sometimes down right funny... Join us at NET and begin helping create the safest community ever.

I'll be listening to you on the net... Look for me there my call sign will be
RON #18.

*CERT team members call up your Google Doc's spread sheet on your computer and watch Tom fill it in real time as he runs the net....
