ARES Net Script

 
Good Evening Everyone and Welcome to the Monday Night, Lubbock County ARES Net.
 
This is (CALL SIGN) My Name Is: (NAME)
 
I will be your net control station for this session of the Lubbock County ARES Net. This is a Directed Net, which means only transmit when directed by net control.

This net makes use of the NetLogger logging program to transmit check-in information to other users of NetLogger.

Stations monitoring the net with Netlogger receive updated information every twenty seconds, detailed check-in logs, and an AIM chat window.
 
The program is free and available for download at netlogger.org
