What is the National Traffic System?
The National Traffic System (NTS) is a structure that allows for regulated movement of traffic from origin to destination and training amateur operators to handle written traffic and participate in directed nets.
How do I get involved?
The easiest way to involved in the National Traffic Systems is to get on the air and participate in a net.
If you have questions about the NTS or the Indiana Section traffic nets, please contact the Indiana Section Traffic Manager, Brian Jenks W9BGJ. Brian can be reached by e-mail at w9bgj@arrl.net.
