Would You Like to Become a Net Control Station?
Every Tuesday night the Net Control Station (NCS) will call for an alternate in case something happens while running the net. If you'd like to practice before offering your skills as an NCS, simply grab a pen/pencil and paper. As the NCS goes through the script, read it aloud from a printable copy. (Don't go live though!) Write down the call signs, short-timers, and other information. After the net, listen for the alternate to give a number to the NCS. If your number of call signs matches, then you are on your way to becoming an NCS.

If you are a licensed amateur radio operator and would like to learn how to run the Tuesday night training net, please contact Fredia Dillard KT4TEA, (NM).
