See you on the air tonight.

From tonight's net.
1) 40 soldiers from Fort Drum tested positive for the virus. THIS IS UNCONFIRMED AT THIS TIME. LOOKING FOR VALIDATION
2) A test that folks could take each morning to see if you may have the Wuhan Virus is to take a deep breath and if you can old your breath for 10-seconds without any adverse troubles, you probably do not have it. If you do have an issue, contact your doctor.
3) There is a report circulating around that active military and National Guard Units are being asked to be ready for deployment at the beginning of next week to meet a nation wide quarantine by all citizens in the USA. PLEASE, THIS HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED. ERIN (EASTERN REGION INFORMATION NETWORK) WOULD LIKE TO VERIFY THIS OR REPORT IT IS A HOAX. DISINFORMATION COULD BE BEING POSTED BY ENEMIES OF THE STATE, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC.
4) We had a good turn out tonight between the 40-meter (1800 hrs) and 80-meter (1900 hrs) net.
5) The PACE for tomorrow will be modified slightly. The 80-meter net will be at 1830 hrs rather than 1900 hrs. A revised PACE will be posted here by 0800 hrs Wednesday 18, 2020.

Update March 17, 2020

All SOI rules of engagement below will apply
Update March 16, 2020
Good morning folks.
I would like to thank all of the folks here who are participating in the nightly net. To help in having a smooth net going forward, I have put together the following "rules of engagement". Please share with any like minded folks who might check-in or just want to listen.
1) I will be on frequency 15-minutes before the net starts for pre check-ins. If there is a lot of splatter or someone is using this frequency, move on up the band till you hear the group. I will try to post the new frequency on this thread.
2) I will call CQ followed by my call and "this is net control for the ERIN Daily Net". It would be great if folks could check in early so not to have a mad rush at the start of the net. If you are late to the net, no worries. I will ask for additional check-ins several times during the net. PLEASE wait till I do this.
3) The net is a "directed net" which means; check-in and do not talk till net control calls your call.
4) Once a station makes their report and you have a question or want to make a comment say "CONTACT". Net control will recognize you and either let you ask your question or make your comment IF there is no other priority traffic waiting. Be patient.
5) Once you are called to give your report you will make a modified "CYRIL" report
A) Location
B) Traffic to report *
B) Weather Report
C) Wuhan Virus report
D) Unrest in your AO if any
E) Request for help if needed
6) After the net is closed people may want to stay on air and use the frequency to ragchew which is great and I will probably join in. With that written, the reason for this net is to share information not ragchew. Save that for after the net.
The PACE revisited,

If you have any questions or wish to make a comment, use this thread.
* It is encouraged that if you hear someone and net control obviously can not, say CONTACT. Once recognized say "I have traffic for insert call sign here this is insert your call sign here". As an example: "I HAVE TRAFFIC FROM KA7FOX THIS IS KC3LRS".
