Types of nets:

Open Net

Stations call each other and directly pass traffic. A typical example would be a Tactical Net or our Stand-By Weather Nets.

Directed Net

Stations only call Net Control directly. Passing of traffic is controlled by Net Control station.


How a directed net works

A directed net has an active Net Control station who coordinates traffic. The ARES/EMCOMM net is an example of a directed net. Stations wishing to deliver a message or pass information would first call Net Control, and when acknowledged, make your request. Net Control will then coordinatethe passing of traffic or announcement. We'll have a demonstration of traffic passing on a future net.
