CQ CQ CQ – This is the Chattahoochee Valley Net, presented by the Columbus Amateur Radio Club.

My name is (your name), my call is (your call), and my QTH is (your current physical location).
I will be the net control station for tonight’s net.

Is there any emergency or priority traffic? (Pause)

This net is open to all hams with privileges on this frequency.
We meet every Wednesday at 8:00 PM Eastern Time on the 146.880 Columbus Amateur Radio Club repeater.
This repeater has a minus offset and 123 PL tone.
The alternate repeater is the 146.745 Russell County Amateur Radio Club repeater, also with a minus offset and 123 tone.
In the event that both repeaters are down we will meet on 146.550 simplex.

The purpose of the net is to train members to be proficient during emergencies, encourage fellowship, and disseminate important information.
Additionally, we will relay the “ARRL Broadcast” after the Technical Corner portion of the net.

This is a directed net, so please direct all traffic to the net control station.
This is not a traffic handling net, however we will be glad to pass any traffic listed.

Those without transmitting privileges or unable to check-in via RF for any reason may check in via email at ncs@w4cvy.org, that is November Charlie Sierra at Whiskey Four Charlie Victor Yankee dot org.

Are there any bulletins or announcements?
(Pause and jot down any announcements for a recap at the end of the net)
