9) Nothing further heard. This concludes this session of the net. This net meets every Sunday evening at 8pm, 2000 local, on this 146.82 MHz repeater, which uses a -600 kHz offset, and a 162.2 Hz PL tone is required. This repeater also transmits a 162.2 Hz PL tone for your convenience if you receive PL tone squelch on your receiver. If you are listening to us but cannot transmit into the repeater, please contact us through our website, www.w4car.org . For information about becoming a licensed ham radio operator, or getting your radio set up for this and other repeaters, we would be glad to help you. I want to thank everyone for checking into the net this evening.
(If scheduled, provide a reminder about the Digital Fusion net. For example: Immediately following this net will be the W4CAR Digital Fusion net. If you have a Fusion radio, everyone is welcome. It is a very informal net. Most everyone is checking out their equipment and making a few comments.)
This (net OR the analog net) is now closed, and the repeater is returned to general amateur radio use. Good evening and 73 to all. This is (our call sign), (your name), in (your city/state), and I am clear.
