ATTENTION and good evening, all Amateurs and Short-Wave listeners everywhere!
This is (call sign), (name) in (city and town). I am your Net control station for this evening’s session of the Wolverine Single Sideband Net. Our Net meets every day of the year on 3.935 at 22:00 UTC, and the pre-Net starts at about 21:15 UTC. The purpose of the WSSBN is to promote good fellowship and friendship among radio operators!
You do not have to be a member to join in. All General or higher-class licensed operators are encouraged to participate. Our operating format features a One-and-Done comment period for each station checking in, coordinated by your Net Control host. Please manage your on-air time to a maximum of 2 – 3 minutes in length while keeping in mind that less is always OK! To help preserve sanity for all, please avoid political or religious debate-type topics. Mentioning that you will be thinking of, or praying for a sick person, offering condolences, attending or attended services, etc., is all good.
To become a WSSBN member, you must complete 4 check-ins per month for 3 consecutive months. Upon completion of these requirements, email or send your list to K8TAS – Taz, who is good on QRZ.COM. Be sure to include the Net control station call for each check-in and not the Pre-Net list taker. Sometimes they are different. We have a nice certificate and iron-on patch for new members. Information about the Net and the monthly awards can be found on our website: wssbn.com or type in Wolverine Single Sideband Net into your favorite browser.
I currently have on the pre-net list the following stations by suffix…
- Did I miss anyone on the pre-net list ONLY?
- Are there any mobiles? • Any more mobiles wanting to check in?
- Are there any announcements? • Are there any additional announcements for the net?
- Do we have any stations needing short-time. • Please keep in mind, it is SHORT-TIME?
- Time now for general check-ins. If you would like to get on the WSSBN regular check-in list, please call now. This is (your call sign). Any more general check-ins?
- I will take additional check-ins about every 15 minutes. Please wait until the call to check in. It helps keep the Net flowing.
- OK… Let’s move on to the comments section of the Net for some fun. (

AFTER THE NET:
I would like to thank everyone who checked into the net tonight.
This is (YOUR CALLSIGN), your net control from (CITY & STATE), now closing this evening’s edition of the Wonderful Wolverine Single Side-Band Net. Good night and 73 to all.
****Don’t forget YOU are in charge of the net and if anyone gives their call sign while someone is giving comments either ignore or tell them after the person spoke when you will be taking more check-ins.
