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 of the net where as portables do. As an NCS you can also remind stations who check in as portable that they should check in with the general call up.

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 Tim or Gary know and we can set something up. They will be there to guide you through the net.
