Please Note the changes and include them when you NCS a net, or download a copy of your choice (.txt or .rtf) and print it out.

Note: The net frequency is 145.170 with an alternate of 145.390.

Note: The other repeaters you can send people off to for passing traffic are 145.390 and 147.105 when not in use.

Note: When you are checking in mobiles Please do not include "Portables" in that part of the call-up. Portables are a base station that has been moved to a different location, or a hand held or handy talky. Either way they are not navigating traffic and are in no danger of an accident. Further more, mobiles do not have to check out where a portable does. As an NCS you can also remind stations who check in as "Portable" that they should check in with the general call up.

Note: With the way the traffic is coming into the net and trying to keep the nets as short as possible, Try to come up with some innovative ways to move the traffic. I know that It's not going to be easy but, The more adaptable you can become, the more efficient you will be and more able to handle real emergency situations.

Note: If you are new or if you have been with the net for awhile and would like to try to NCS A net. Let me know and we can set something up. I will be there to guide you through the net.

{} Need an NCS or an alternet NCS.

The net really needs more NCS's and alternet NCS's. If you think you would like to try an NCS Spot we can set something up and you can try it for several weeks to see if you like it. An NCS spot is not difficult, it just takes a little time to get used to it. Also, if you would like to start out as an alternate NCS we have many spots open. Your NCS can also help you through the net until you can get some experience.

NYPON is held at 5:00 pm on a net frequency of 3.925 mhz.
