Which of the following are typical duties of a Net Control Station?

  1. AChoose the regular net meeting time and frequency
  2. BEnsure that all stations checking into the net are properly licensed for operation on the net frequency
  3. CCall the net to order and direct communications between stations checking in
  4. DAll these choices are correct
Why The Net Control Station is the traffic cop for a directed net: it opens the net on schedule, takes check-ins, keeps a list of stations and their traffic, and then calls on stations one at a time so only one transmits at a time. That role is about running the session in progress, not administering the net as an organization.
Watch out Setting the regular meeting time and frequency is the job of the net manager or the sponsoring group, and verifying every check-in's license class is not something a net control can or is expected to do, so the choice claiming all of them are duties is also wrong.
NCS = Net Control Station, the on-air traffic cop: calls the net to order and says who talks next.
