Preamble

Calling the Northern New York Hospital Net.
Calling the Northern New York Hospital Net.

This is   callsign   calling to order the Northern New York Hospital Net.

This is a directed net. Unless you have emergency traffic, please do not transmit unless invited to do so by the Net Control Station. The Net Control Station is   callsign   at   location  . My name is   name  .

Is there any emergency traffic at this time?

The purposes of this net are to test the ham radio communications capabilities of the hospitals in Northern New York and Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vermont, and to provide training in handling formal written message traffic. This net meets on this repeater quarterly, generally on the first Tuesday of January, April, July, and October, at 18:15 Eastern Time, with schedule modifications to accommodate holidays. We thank the owners and operators of the Whiteface Mountain repeater for making it available for this net. The sub-audible tone for this repeater is 123.0 Hz, but 100.0 Hz. should be used for this net. If this repeater is not available, we will meet on the Lyon Mountain repeater, 147.285 MHz, positive offset, 123.0 Hz tone.

This net is limited to stations at medical facilities in Northern New York, to any station at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vermont, and to any stations providing relays for any of the medical facilities listed. MARS stations and Emergency Operation Centers in Northern New York and Canada are welcome to check in. Other stations are welcome to listen. The call-up will be by roll call of medical facilities, generally working from east to west, and then EOCs and MARS.

A formal message in standard format will be sent during this net, after the call-up of stations. Please use the latest ICS-213 Form, version 2.1.0 (modified for radio messages). All stations are requested to write down the message, to deliver it as addressed, and to request acknowledgment of the delivery by the addressee. Delivery may be made by any means that will allow the addressee to acknowledge receipt of the message, including, but not limited to, hand delivery, telephone, or e-mail. This simulates operations that would happen in an actual emergency situation.

This is   callsign   with the Northern New York Hospital Net. The roll call follows. When checking in, please give your call sign phonetically, the name of your facility, your first name, and indicate whether you have any traffic or not. If there is more than one operator at your location, please give the call signs and first names of all operators present.
