Calling the CT Region 3 ARES net. Calling the CT Region 3 ARES net. This is (callsign), my name is (first name), and I am net control station for this session of the CT Region 3 Amateur Radio Emergency Service Net. This net meets every Monday evening at 8 PM local time, on the KB1AEV Linked Repeater System. Our purpose is to pass ARES related bulletins and announcements, provide informal training, and encourage all amateurs to participate in emergency communications. This is a directed net. All communications will go through Net Control. Check-ins are welcome from anyone, anywhere.

If you haven't already done so, please use ARES CONNECT to sign up for tonight's net.

When checking into the net give

  • your call sign phonetically
  • your name,
  • your location,
  • a break tag if needed,

and then wait to be recognized. I’ll take several check-ins at a time. If I miss you or have your information wrong, check in again so you are correctly listed in the log. I’ll now take all check-ins.
(Take several check-ins and then recognize aloud each station you heard. Loop until everyone is checked in successfully, then proceed with net business.)

(Always call on Phil, K1XFC (DEC),  and Bill, AB1LZ, (ADEC) for bulletins and reports. Then call on Roger, K1PAI for Skywarn announcements, then other League officials, the rest of the ECs and then anyone else with announcements or questions.

Please pass the word that this net is here for the good of everyone in our communities.
