Tactical Call Signs

Your tactical call sign should be your NET team name or an abbreviation. If your net team name is long, choose an abbreviation. For example if your full team name was “Portland South Heights and Jake Creek NET”, your tactical call sign might be “South Heights.”

For some exercises, several teams may have been combined and will work together as a single team. So, you should be aware of which teams you represent as subnet controllers will probably ask you for that information when they check in.  

Note: During NET Simplex Net exercises, we have encouraged operators to use suffixes (“South Heights-2”, etc.) because there were often several AROs from the same NET participating. Do not add a suffix for exercises or deployments where you operate from a staging area as there will only be one ARO representing a team at a time.
