The following preamble is used for the weekly DeKalb ARES net:

Calling the DeKalb Emergency Net, Calling the DeKalb Emergency Net.  The DeKalb Emergency net is now in routine formal session.  This net meets on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. local time and welcomes check-ins from all stations interested in public service communications.  This net is affiliated with the Amateur Radio Emergency Service of the American Radio Relay League.

The net control operator tonight is (__give callsign and then repeat in ITU phonetics__), name here is  (__give name__).

When I call for check-ins, please check in with your name, location and callsign in ITU phonetics as I did earlier and indicate whether you have any announcements, questions or comments for the net.

STATIONS HAVING EMERGENCY TRAFFIC MAY BREAK-IN AT ANY TIME.

Before we begin taking check-ins, do I have anyone who would like to act as Alternate Net Control for tonight's net?
