TECTeam Communications Net

All stations, this is <Your Call>, my name is <Your Name>.  I will serve as net control for the Tukwila Emergency Communications Team Communications Net.

This net meets every Sunday night at 1830 hours local time on the KF7BFT D-Star repeater at 440.425Mhz.  The repeater is located in Tukwila, WA and is linked to the D-Star reflector 35C.  Attendees can also check in using Echolink on the conference node AB2M.  In the event of repeater failure, we will conduct this net on the repeater output frequency on simplex.

This is a directed net.  Please direct all communications through net control and do not transmit unless directed to do so.

Please inform net control if you wish to leave the net early. Stations with Emergency or Priority Traffic may break in at any time.  I’ll pause now to allow for Emergency or Priority Traffic.

<Listen for 5 seconds to allow for break-ins>

The purpose of this net is to discuss team business, provide training for TECTeam members and Tukwila Firefighters, ensure that your radio equipment is fully operational and to provide information for visiting stations interested in becoming part of the TECTeam.

When checking in please give your full call sign using the phonetic alphabet for clarity, your name, your location as the nearest cross street or the Fire Station you’re at, and indicate how many pieces of message traffic or business you have for the net.  If you have traffic or business items for the net, please check in and wait for net control to request your traffic.
