SUGGESTED CHECK-IN PROCEDURE
The check-in procedure should follow the standard method of tuning the frequency accurately and waiting for the NCO to make a call for check-ins. Do NOT break the net with your call and announce “Check In”. Wait for a net callup. Listen for the type of call-up being made. Fixed stations should NOT check in when the NCO calls for “Mobiles Only”, All stations, fixed or mobile, are invited to check in during a general call-up for “Any Check-ins”. Stations should check in using their call sign only one time in an orderly fashion spreading the calls out to allow the NCO to take a list. Please be patient, especially when NightWatch is busy. Everyone will get the opportunity to make their contacts. Unless you have an emergency, don’t call over the top of the NCO or others. It will only give you a reputation with your peers you don’t want to have. Listen first. Ask for a relay if needed. Do not use the word CONTACT to jump to the top of the list. It only creates confusion for everybody concerned and is inconsiderate of others waiting for their turn. Stations will be called in the order they were heard but weak mobiles will be given priority if they identify as such when calling in. Stations may stay on frequency to exchange greetings with others for a minute or two but should move off frequency if the exchange will take longer so that others can check in. Save the chit-chat for slower periods.
Use the word CONTACT only when you have DEFINITELY heard the station you want to contact check in. Try to avoid doubling if at all possible. Let the NCO keep things in order and call for relays if needed. Move your station off frequency once you have made contact and try to have a clear frequency already picked out for continuing your QSO. "CONTACT" means you have definitely heard a specific station check-in that you wish to talk with. The NCO will try to recognize you quickly before your station leaves the frequency Because “Contact” calls are given priority, it must never be used to simply check into the net, request signal reports, or to ask if a station is on frequency. Wait for a net call-up for those reasons.
"RELAY" should be used if you hear a station repeatedly calling in that is not being heard by the NCO. You may be asked to call that station and relay his traffic in to the service.
"RECHECK" should be used when you have gone off to find a clear frequency, and you are returning to get your station. "RECHECK" should be used when you have gone off to find a clear frequency, and you are returning to get your station. |
