! Proper Etiquette for Using Repeaters

Good Operating Practices For Repeaters.
Leave pauses: so others can join in your call. Listen Before You Talk: If you just turned your radio on listen for a minute before transmitting so you do not step into an ongoing conversation.. Station Identification & Making a Call: “This is K…O… on the .700 repeater” If someone is scanning this tells them where you are. Roundtables: With more than two people, make sure to send it to the next person in the group. Nets and Emergency Net Situations: Respect others use of the equipment. Be mindful that you are representing all Hams in a very large geographical area since our repeaters are linked countrywide. DO NOT Monopolize the repeater.
