Welcome to the web home of an NTS fanatic. For those of you who don't know NTS stands for the National Traffic Network, a means by which third party traffic ( messages ) can move from one point in the country by the means of amateur radio.

To some this is a very boring part of the hobby, but I think thats only because they have never really got more involved than signing onto a net. Untill you actively send or recieve a message you have not seen the full extent of the NTS. It's that moment when you make the phone call to deliver a recieved message that makes it something.

Do you have any idea of how good it feels to deliver a special holiday message to a grandmother. To know just maybe you've made her day and then be able to turn around and take a message from her as a reply.

Maybe I'm the sentimental type, but I also know one thing and thats that if I needed to gain a signature on a petition to protect our spectrum I know where one would come from. NTS isn't just something you can enjoy if you work at it, it's also a way of showing who we are. A means of keeping us in the public eye as being other than just that strange guy down the road with all the wire in his trees.

NTS nets also give us the training we never hope we need. The training to able to effectively work should an emergency strike.



Ok thats it wih my soap box for now. Stop back again and look for my full page.

E-mail me with and comments or query you may have about NTS.
