What to transmit

During your period of participation in the net, you are asked to record the signal strength for each transmission made by other members in the net even if not audible.

Transmit only your call and location (e.g. G3NAQ IO91HL), using phonetics for the letters,
and then a carrier or SSB tone for 15 - 20 seconds.

This allows an accurate signal strength assessment, remembering that it may be necessary to adjust the RIT for maximum reading.

The net controller will then leave several seconds for a measurement of the background noise.

None of this prevents normal discourse either. You may want to say how things are going.
