Attention all stations, Attention all stations. This Your Call . My name is Your Name and I am located in your Location, Alabama. The following is a training net session, not an actual activation.

This Net serves to support the public safety of Marshall County and its residents as well as the surrounding communities. The Net would be activated during Emergency situations in response to severe weather, natural disasters, or other civil disaster situations.

We hope you will join us in our efforts to be a service to our communities. We use the Marshall County Amateur Repeater System of linked repeaters and remind you that the system needs a few seconds between transmissions to allow all the links to drop and outlying stations to break in. Also please wait a few seconds after you key up, before you speak, to allow the system to re-link so everyone can copy all of you transmission.

Skywarn is a plan sponsored by the National Weather Service for the reporting of destructive storms or other severe, unusual, or abnormal weather conditions.

We invite all amateur radio operators to check-in with us, and also invite you to check-in at future Net sessions. We also encourage each to participate in actual activation's. This Net meets every Monday night at 8 PM on these repeaters. Should we have to activate for an actual Emergency situation, this Net would then be activated as the Marshall County SKYWARN Emergency Net.
