[MARA_announcements] Draft Tuesday net format

[n1xtb]

Folks,
Below is the draft format from N1BSO for the Tuesday night night being 
distributed for comment.

Also, I will be updating the MARA club roster on the W1MV website later 
this week.  If you don't see your callsign, I may have missed your dues 
payment.

Special thanks to Tom WA1TOM and Allen WA1BEE for input and suggestions.


Is there any further use of the repeater before we begin this evening's net?

Good evening, and welcome to the weekly Massasoit Amateur Radio 
Association meeting on the air.

This net meets every Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM with the exception of 
the 3rd Tuesday of the month which is our regular club meeting night. 
Our club meetings are held at the Bridgewater Public Library at 6:30 PM.

This is (callsign, name and location of the net operator) and I'll be 
the Net Control this evening.

The purpose of our net is to relay items of interest to the general Ham
Community, such as Health and Welfare information regarding local hams 
in the area.  You don't have to be a member of MARA to join the net, all 
Hams are welcome.  As always Emergency and Priority traffic has 
precedence and may break in at any time.

We ask that you use the ARRL recommended procedure of saying "This is
....., drop your carrier to check for doubling and give your name, 
callsign and location slowly.

Check-ins please come now.

[After check-ins net control goes through a list for general comments 
and updates from the week's events.  Example interesting contacts, new 
radios, etc]

Any more check-ins

[Net control will bring up a subject for discussion and go through the
list, maybe a second round if needed.

Any more check-ins.

[Net control can bring up any upcoming events and announcements]

[Net control goes through the list closing comments and 73's]

I'd like to thank those who participated this evening, those who stood 
by during the Net, and the W1MV Repeater Trustees for the use of the 
repeater.

We now return the repeater to its normal operation.
