 Compared to a voice Net, a CW Net may seem a bit more formal or structured. CW Nets need a structure to ensure that all callers, however experienced or otherwise they are at CW, are able to enter in to proceedings - the Net is designed to give people a chance to operate CW even if they've never done it before, doing so in front of a sympathetic audience. Because of this, we have created this **Net Format** which we'll follow for our Slow to Medium Speed Nets on a Monday evening. Please be sure to either have a copy in front of you, or print it off, before calling in. Compared to a voice Net, a CW Net may seem a bit more formal or structured.

Please listen carefully as, if the frequency is in use, the Net Control will send something like **'UP 3'** or **'DOWN 2'**, which indicates how many kHz up or down callers should move to tune in to the Net.
   * **QRS/QRO** (Speed) - **Up to** 15wpm, but the Net Controller will reply at the speed each Net member sends at.   * **QRS/QRO** (Speed) - **Up to** 15wpm, but the Net Controller will reply at the speed each Net member sends at.

-  * Net Control (MS0OUK) will call //“**CQ OARC Net de MS0OUK**”//, finishing with  //“AR K”//. +1 - Net Control will call **"QRL?"** on the dot of 1900. 
-  * Stations calling in send their full callsigns three times (ie //“**M1ABC M1ABC M1ABC**”// - no need to send Net Control callsign). + 
-  * Net Control will list calls heard (with / in between) then ask for any more with //“**QRZ?**”// +2 - If frequency is free, Net Control will call **"CQ CQ CQ OARC CQ CQ CQ OARC DE MS0OUK PSE K"**. 
-  * If net control did not list your call, then call again with your callsign 3 times. + 
-  * Net Control will continue to call //“**QRZ?**”// until no more callers are heard. +3 - Stations call and send their callsigns twice. 
-  * Once all participants have been noted by Net Control, he will call the first station heard and send a welcome text (which applies to everyone listening but is addressed to one person to stay within the terms of our licence) - //"**M1ABC de MS0OUK = GE ES welcome to OARC S2MS Net = OP Mike ES QTH Glasgow AR BK**"//. + 
-  * The first station (in this example, M1ABC) responds with their callsign and name followed by "**BK**" - ie //"**M1ABC Fred BK**"// . +4 - If Net Control hears partial callsign, he will respond **"ABC? KN"**. 
-  * Net Control then calls the other stations on their list, ie //"**[Call] MS0OUK BK**"//, to which they respond with their callsign, name and //"BK"// . + 
-  * Once every station has sent their name, the Net Control returns to the top of the list and calls each station in order, //"**M1ABC de MS0OUK AR KN**"// . +5 - Only the station whose callsign contains ABC will send their full callsign twice. All other callers please stand by. 
-  * Each station (when called) returns with //"**MS0OUK de [Call] GE Mike UR RST 599 599. Op [Name] ES QTH [Location] = HW CPI? BK**"// . + 
-  * Net Control responds with //"**RR TNX FER call  = UR RST 599 AR**"//  before calling the next station. +6 - Net Control will reply to the caller, **"M1ABC DE MS0OUK = GE ES WELCOME TO OARC S2MS NET = OP COLIN [or MIKE] ES QTH DUNDEE [or GLASGOW] = UR RST 599 = HW CPI? M1ABC DE MS0OUK AR KN"**. 
-  * Once the Net Controller has contacted everyone and given them a signal report, he returns to the top of the list and sends //“**M1ABC de MS0OUK 73 ES HPE CU AGN BK**”//. + 
-  * The first station (in this example, M1ABC) replies //“**73 TU**”//. +7 - The caller responds, **"MS0OUK DE M1ABC GE COLIN [or MIKE] TNX FER RPT UR RST 599 OP [Name twice] ES QTH [Location twice] HW CPI? MS0OUK DE M1ABC AR KN"**. 
-  * The Net Controller replies by sending two dots //**[DIT DIT]**// before moving to the next station //“** [Call] de MS0OUK 73 ES HPE CU AGN BK**”//. + 
-  * The first station (in this example, M1ABC) replies //“**73 TU**”// +8 - Net Control replies, **"M1ABC DE MS0OUK = RR DR OM [Name] TNX FER QSO = 73 ES HPE CU AGN ="**, before calling **"QRZ?"** 
-  * Once he has said 73 to every station, the Net Controller sends //“**MS0OUK QRT  AR  SK**”//, bringing the net to an end.+ 
 +9 - Move back to stage 3. 
 + 
 +10 - If, after calling **"QRZ?"**, Net Control hears no other callers, he will send **"MS0OUK QRT AR SK"**. 
 + 
 +NOTE - After you have made your QSO with the Net Controller, why not join us on 7.130 +/- for a Post-CW SSB chat?
