Net Script
Speak loudly into the microphone!
Preamble
Attention all radio amateurs!
Attention all radio amateurs!
This repeater located on Charley Culver’s Tower (KD5DLW) will now be used to conduct the business of the Bryan Amateur Radio Club, W5BCS. This net meets on Tuesday evenings at 20:00 local time to discuss items of interest to the club. However, you do not have to be a club member to check in: all hams are welcome!
This is my name, my callsign, acting as net control.
In the event of a repeater failure or if we are otherwise unable to use this repeater, we will regroup on the KD5DLW Bryan repeater, 443.425 MHz.
Club officers this year are:
- President: David Bailey (K5DKB)
- Vice President: Tom Johnson (KI5ZPG)
- Secretary: Matthew Barry (KG5LYE)
- Treasurer: Lorna Flansburg (KI5FIZ)
