NCS Training Elements
- History of the NATA net.
- Essential skills – Starting a net, using NetLogger software, managing the net session, verifying valid contacts, use of designated relay stations, understanding and dealing with intentional interference, closing the net.
- On-air training – Running a net under supervision and assistance of the NCS Trainer. A minimum of 3 nets with progressively less assistance until the trainer and the trainee agree that the new NCS is ready for a7 regular or substitute NCS assignment by the Net Coordinator.
- On-going training – the NCS trainer monitors the newly-certifed NCS and provides feedback to assist with continued growth and skill improvement.
