Net Formats

Directed (formal) Nets: In a directed net, a “net control station” (NCS) organizes and controls all activity. One station wishing to call or send a message to another in the net must first receive permission from the NCS. Directed nets are the best format for Emergencies.

Open (informal) Nets: In an open net, the NCS is optional. Station may call each other directly. The NCS usually exerts minimal control over the net. The NCS may step in when the traffic increases or to solve problems.
