We meet daily at 6PM local time for the purpose of handling formal written traffic, announcing amateur radio events, delivering information on severe weather, providing training for new operators and net control stations, and assisting with emergency communications when needed. This is a directed net so please follow the instructions of net control. Is there any emergency or priority traffic? Are there any NTS area or regional liaisons? Calling for any other stations with formal written traffic. [NOTE: The notes below are not new but need to be there as a reminder] [NOTE: List ALL traffic FIRST by local sender and destination; [ Then go back to top of list and assign one at a time. Don't use "which [ ever ones..." offers. Assign them to the one you announced and move on. [NOTE: Send traffic to 146.79 for 3 or more pieces by telling the sender and takers to go.] Are there any stations that are short of time? Are there any stations with announcements, official bulletins, or general net messages? Any there any mobile, handheld or portable stations? Are there any other stations that would like to check in?
