FIELD DAY SCRIPT

RARC’s  Field Day Script

 

Responding to a Caller.

IF they have a partial of our call then you say “Negative Negative” and repeat our call once or many times until they have it.

2. When they confirmed our call they will give us their “Class and Section.” We will log that with their call.

Make sure that we have it correct or ask to “Repeat Repeat!”  or “Again Again!” until you have it right!
