* You may receive one or more calls from the EOC Command operator with information or a request to transition to MC-9 at a particular time for a briefing or a formal message. Command will contact you using your tactical call sign, e.g “Westside, this is Command Over”. If Command needs to reach you while your subnet is busy, you may hear one of the following instead. | * You may receive one or more calls from the EOC Command operator with information or a request to transition to MC-9 at a particular time for a briefing or a formal message.

* If your transceiver has two receivers, e.g. an A side and a B side, consider using one of the sides to monitor MC-9, which is the Command Net frequency. If you plan to use one of the sides of your transceiver for Winlink communication, you could use that side for both Winlink and Command by setting MC-9 in memory mode and the gateway frequency in VFO mode and switching back and forth between Memory and VFO mode on that side of the radio. | * If your transceiver has two receivers, e.g. an A side and a B side, consider using one of the sides to monitor MC-9, which is the Command Net frequency.
