Central Ohio Traffic Net

Net Control Instructions



Listed below is the script to be used for the Central Ohio Traffic Net.

Please be sure to start the net on time. Check with WWV or another accurate source for the correct time.

The # symbol means drop carrier. Also, don't forget to identify the net every 10 minutes (This is the Central Ohio Traffic Net, (your call) is net control.).
Good evening. This is the Central Ohio Traffic Net, a part of the Ohio Section of the National Traffic System, we meet daily to handle traffic. This is a directed net and net control will control the net. Your net control is (your call), my name is (your name), and I am located in (your location). Is there any emergency or priority traffic? #

If any traffic is listed here, call for a station to help pass the traffic listed.

Are there mobile stations? #

Record all stations and their traffic (if any).

Section Net Liaison please. #

Acknowledge the SNL, and record his traffic (if any).

Stations with traffic only. #

Record all stations and their traffic. Repeat this as often as is needed.

Stations with or without traffic. #

Record all stations and their information (portable, mobile, etc.). Before you pass traffic from a station portable or mobile, ask them if they can take traffic. Try to pass traffic going to the SNL first, and try to send all traffic closer to its intended location (i.e. traffic for Westerville should be given to someone in Westerville or close to it, if possible). Any announcements and IF requests should be handled after all traffic is passed (unless the IF deals with a specific piece of traffic).

All traffic and business brought to the net has been taken care of. Is there any more business for this session? #

Take care of any additional business listed. After everything is done, close the net.

At this time I will close this session of the Central Ohio Traffic Net. Thanks to everyone who participated, especially those who brought or took traffic.
