This is <call-sign> and my name is <name> . I am bringing up the “Tri-County Amateur Radio Club Weekly Rag Chew and Information Net”. This net invites all licensed amateur radio operators to participate, so please check in with us. This net is a directed net, and that means I am the Net Control Operator, and all traffic is directed by me. I will call for a round of check-ins, and you simply reply stating your call-sign. Once recognized by the Net Control Operator, then you may come with your traffic. Traffic appropriate for this net includes announcements, technical talk, swap listing, sports, today’s weather, or any information regarding amateur radio. Standby one moment.
