IMN GUIDES:  When sent off frequency to receive traffic, the receiving station ALWAYS picks the frequency and calls the station who is to send. (This makes sense. It's the receiving station who finds a clear channel).

Allow NCS 3 minutes to appear. The alternate should call the designated NCS from time to time during that 3-minute period, however. Stated another way, if NCS is 3 minutes late, someone takes over.

IMN RULES: NOTE TO NCS. Avoid 5 up. That's BCEN Frequency.

SPEED LIMIT ON NET FREQ. IS 15 WPM. NCS should tell those who exceed the speed limit to slow down.

TO be placed on, or to stay on the roll call, you must QNI at least twice during the month.

TO qualify for Net Certificate you must remain on the roll call at least 6 consecutive months.

TO qualify for NCS or Liaison Sticker (for your Net Certificate) you must perform that function 6 consecutive months.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you are absent from the roll call two consecutive months, you will be dropped from the IMN NL mailing list.
