MMRA T.I.O.S. Net Script

7:55 ~ This is [call], net control for this weeks MMRA technical, informational, and other
stuff net.  The net is scheduled to begin in 5 minutes at 8PM.  Please make any last minute calls 
before the net at this time.  Thank you.  This is [call], [name] in [town].


8:00 This is [call], [name] in [town].  I am the net control for this week's MMRA technical,
informational, and other stuff net.  This net meets weekly @ 8 PM eastern time on the linked
repeaters of the MMRA system.  The system has over 20 repeaters on the 10, 6, 2, 1 and 1/4 meters, and the
70 and 33cm bands plus EchoLink & IRLP. We also have an equal number of affiliated repeaters
that can be linked.  

Most of these repeaters are capable of being linked into one large system for public service
and emergency communications.  The primary purpose of this net is to test this linked system.
This net also allows the exchange of any technical, informational, or other stuff related to
Ham radio that the members of the net wish to announce or discuss. (Good place to break.)

I will go up the list of repeaters by frequency and accept check-ins from each repeater.  I will
then proceed back up the list asking for comments from each you.  Note that I will ask for
check-ins from the MMRA 6M, 2M and 220 repeaters, then EchoLink & IRLP, then the MMRA 440 and
900 repeaters, and finally all of the Affiliate Repeaters.

This is very important:  When checking-in, wait a good two seconds after keying up to talk
as there are many links interconnecting.  Then please say "This is" (then break to
check for doubling, and key up again, wait that two seconds and give) your call, your name
and your location.

This is an open system, so everyone is invited to check in.  If you can hear me, you can check
in!  I will start with check-ins on the: Marlboro 53.81 repeater, PL of 71.9.

Advertisement at some point:
 - Remember to ask for late check-ins often
 - Remember to remind the members of the 2-second wait and to check for doubling.



End:  This is [call], net control and this is the conclusion of this weeks MMRA technical,
informational, and other stuff net.  Thank you to all the stations that checked in and thank
you to all the stations that stood by while we held the net.  Also thanks to all those people
in the MMRA whose behind the scenes actions make this repeater network possible.  The repeaters
will stay linked until 11PM. Stations are encouraged to stay on the air and utilize the network.
This is [call], [name] in [town], clear.
