Listen to MC-2 for the Resource Net. Subnet Controllers will be asked to check in first, so wait for the Resource Net operator to ask you to check in. The general check ins will probably be in alphabetical order by callsign suffix. Check in using your FCC call sign using the ITU spelling alphabet . Once you have checked in and been released by the Resource Net Controller, you can transition to your regional subnet. | Listen to MC-2 for the Resource Net.

Note: While you are waiting for your call sign suffix to be called, you may want to use the Reverse button on your radio occasionally to check to see if there are operators near you who are not reaching the repeater. If you hear someone trying to check in while you are on reverse but don’t hear them without reverse, they are not reaching the repeater. You have the option of offering a relay by using the proword “Relay”. ''Be sure and turn off the reverse feature before doing so.'' | Note: While you are waiting for your call sign suffix to be called, you may want to use the Reverse button on your radio occasionally to check to see if there are operators near you who are not reaching the repeater.
