  • How to Earn Your Net Control Certificate

    Earning your Net Control and Field Operator (NCFO) certificate is a self-led process.

    1. Go to the Training page and print out the task list.
    2. Complete the FEMA online IS 800 class and send the certificate to me at eliza [dot] pride [at] gmail [dot] com.
    3. In some order, serve as net control for:
      • A regularly scheduled weekly net – preferably our own Wednesday night net, but the D-1 or NTTN net work too. CC a copy of your net report to me
      • AND Either two MCARES exercises or team drills, or an exercise/team drill and a public service event. Have the team leader or person in charge at the net control location sign off your task list for each of these net control experiences. Be sure one of them checks off the items on page two of the task list and the two items under “Knowledge.”
    4. Verify with your team leader that you have a complete 72 hour go kit and have them sign that off on your task list.
    5. Send your completed task list to me.

  • New Weekly Net Preamble

    The new net script will be launched October 30 and is in keeping with the net protocol presented at our September meeting. Checkins are grouped differently, so be sure to listen closely. The script will be posted to the website October 24. Thanks to Greg NF7H and Eli W7ELI for their work on this.
