Any licensed ham may participate in the Monday night nets (listen and call in).
Mountain View ARES/RACES members can sign up to be net control or shift supervisor/scribe for the Mountain View local net, and net control for the UHF/220 and Main SPECS nets in February and August. You need a copy of the current roster and script for the net. Knowledge of the phonetic alphabet is helpful.

You can run the net remotely from home, or from the K6MTV radio room (shack) where restrictions apply.
Current roster of local net participants (ICS 211A): template spreadsheet (PDF)
Mountain View SPECS Monday Night scripts & instructions (PDF) for the net control and shift supervisor/scribe roles.
Every Friday morning, a script automatically updates the roster and generates two spreadsheets dated to the following Monday in this folder: one for net control, one for the scribe. If you do not find the dated spreadsheets after Friday, as a backup you can create your own copy of the template spreadsheet with File > Make a copy (this requires a Google account).
The first tab of each spreadsheet contains detailed instructions for both roles. You can follow along and practice by printing or creating your own copy of the template or one of the dated versions. The archive folder shows what filled-in spreadsheets look like.
