There are several circumstances when you may need to leave the subnet and to appoint an interim subset control. Examples of such circumstances are when you are called away by the ECC, when you need to send Winlink messages, and when you need to take a break. In these cases you should consider three criteria (a) The apparent skill level of operators checked into your subnet (b) their ability to hear and be heard by other stations in your region. The latter will be influenced by the equipment they have at their disposal and (c) their location within your region. Choose an alternate who is a good fit for the role and is willing to take it on and inform the operators of your decision. When you return, wait for a break in the communication, announce your return and resume your role as subnet control operator. | There are several circumstances when you may need to leave the subnet and to appoint an interim subset control.

After completing checking stations into your subnet, you need to switch to Tactical Net on MC-8 to give them your check-in roster. You should do this even if you’re not sure that all stations in your region have checked in. Before leaving the frequency ask one of the AROs on frequency to serve as temporary subnet control. Then transition to Tactical Net and give them the tactical call signs of the AROs that checked into your subnet. Tactical Net may ask you for clarification of what teams are represented by each tactical call sign. When that information is acknowledged, return to your subnet and resume | After completing checking stations into your subnet, you need to switch to Tactical Net on MC-8 to give them your check-in roster.

If additional teams check into your net later, you will need to contact Tactical Net again and provide them the additional stations. Likewise if teams check out before the end of the deployment or exercise. | If additional teams check into your net later, you will need to contact Tactical Net again and provide them the additional stations.
