Jefferson Noon Net

JEFFERSON NOON NET - PURPOSE

The Jefferson Noon Net (JNN), aka PTZNN (Pacific Time Zone Noon Net), is affiliated with the NATIONAL EMCOMM TRAFFIC SERVICE and meets daily on or near 7204 kHz.  Alternate 75 meter frequency is 3911 kHz.

The purpose of the JNN is to PREPARE and PROVIDE public service communications during emergencies, disasters, failure or overload of normal means of communications.

On a daily basis, the purpose is to LEARN, PRACTICE, and DEMONSTRATE PROPER and STANDARDIZED OPERATING PROCEDURES and NET DISCIPLINE
such as:

1. Always identifying the station you are turning the frequency to, and identifying by saying your FCC call sign at the end of a transmission.
Tactical call signs are OK, but ONLY if you know that you will be transmitting again within ten minutes. (FCC Part 97.119a)
2. Use of the proword OVER is encouraged and will prevent doubling.
3. Avoiding “quick keying” by allowing a 1-2 pause before transmitting.  (This allows a station to break in if they need to.)
4. Only using ITU phonetics.
5. Avoiding excessive and repetitious verbiage.
