Buncombe County ARES Net Protocol and Operations Guide<\/h2>\n

The updated net protocol can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If no one has started calling the net by 2100 hours wait a couple of minutes, if there is still no one calling the net begin calling the net following the outlined protocol. You can help by volunteering to be Net Control or the Alternate Net Control station. If neither the Net Controller or the Alternate can copy a transmission and you can, simply key your mic and say relay followed by your call sign.<\/p>\n

The net is a controlled net, with a informal session after row call and training. Formal traffic is sometimes passed on this net, if you are able to handle the traffic please let the Net Controller know. All operators are encouraged to copy traffic for the practice of message handling.<\/p>\n

The Radio Message form can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instructions on how to fill out the Radio Message form:<\/p>\n

PRECEDENCE<\/b> is simply how important is the information\u2026 most times this will be ROUTINE<\/b> but it can be PRIORITY<\/b> or EMERGENCY<\/b>.<\/p>\n

HX<\/b> is for HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS<\/b><\/p>\n

CHECK<\/b> is the number of WORDS<\/b> in the TEXT<\/b> of the message. WORD COUNT<\/b> can be “tricky” so here are a few rules:<\/p>\n

1. The ADDRESS<\/b> and the SIGNATURE<\/b> are NOT<\/b> counted as part of the CHECK<\/b>.<\/p>\n

2. The message text should be limited to 25 words or less.<\/p>\n
