Subj : Echo Description To : ALL From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Jul 01 2016 09:14 am This message area is for NTS and Traffic Handling. The primary mission of amateur radio is handling traffic, and this is done in several ways, including: 1) Formal Written Traffic with National Traffic System Nets 2) Traffic during specific nets. Information covered will include the 4 traffic precedences, how to handle formal written traffic in preparation to be passed on a net, plus how to handle such traffic on a net. Other traffic includes things like upcoming classes and license exams that both hams and non-hams may be interested in...traders nets where ham radio operators can list ham radio related items that they want to buy, sell, or trade....weather related traffic (such as with a Skywarn Net), and more. Note that I am working on preparing batchfiles for these message areas, and it may take some time to get these posts going. Also, since I consider messages over 30 days old to be out of date on my BBS, these messages are deleted after that point, and reposted once a month, with new information, when required.
