NTSGTE is an APRS information service that receives radiograms and forwards them on to the Digital Traffic Network. Radiograms are then relayed on as usual. This service can be useful in situations where you need to send a radiogram but are unable to check in to a traditional NTS net. [Details]NTS Letter / Recruitment, Training & Online PresenceARRL Launches the NTS LetterOctober 10, 2023December 20, 2023 - by adminFrom ARRL News:

The following update on the NTS 2.0 modernization project was recently sent to all ARRL Section Managers and Section Traffic Managers for dissemination to traffic handlers in their areas. More information can be found on the new website nts2.arrl.org under the Standards and Procedures tab. Information on handling instructions and numbered radiograms is available now and information on the encapsulation radiograms for emergency communications will be there soon. There is also a tab To Contribute Your Ideas if you wish to contribute those.

1. An article on NTS has been published in the July issue of QST which you may have received already. We are grateful to the editors of QST for highlighting this program and look forward to more articles in the future.

4. Because of the above mentioned use of emergency type traffic, there are some additional requirements which are important. You will find these on the above noted website as additional handling instructions and ARRL numbered radiograms.

Two new handling instructions are being added. One is HXI which indicates an encapsulated message is included which must be relayed so as to be deliverable in a particular format. The second is HXR, which requires the delivering station to notify the originator of the message confirming that the recipient has personally received the message. This is a frequent requirement from served agencies. This is different from the HXC instruction, which is sent by the delivering station instead to the station of origin, whose call sign is in the header. Where HXC notifies the station of origin of delivery (such as the message being deposited in a mailbox) of their Radiogram, HXR confirms to the sender that the recipient has the message in-hand.

While we understand change can be hard, we hope you will find value in the above. The teams continue to work diligently to make improvements and we welcome feedback from the NTS community. Please share with net participants in your sections.

Our work has included on-air testing in various modes to refine the work associated with the first item above. We are in the process of developing documentation and we expect to deploy these elements on the NTS 2.0 program in the near future.

Throughout 2022, briefings were given to League members in all 15 ARRL divisions. The briefings resulted in valuable feedback on the program as well as the recruitment of additional volunteers to staff the implementation groups.

A kickoff meeting was held for implementation team volunteers. Biographies and team preferences were solicited. The top priorities for the NTS 2.0 teams were also discussed. As a result of those discussions, initial priorities, processes, and operational expectations were determined.

A total of five implementation teams are conducting regular, weekly working meetings. In addition, the team facilitators who constitute a Steering Committee meet each week to help coordinate the work and tackle issues that require coordination between the different teams.

The June STM Report can be found at -rhode-island-stm-report-for-june-2024/. Note especially last call for the annual traffic handlers picnic August 4 in Concord MA from 12 Noon on. Also check out an update on new ARRL Numbered Radiograms and New Handling Instructions, now available in both PDF and DOCX format for download on the NTS2.arrl.org website.

The fox will transmit on 146.565 MHz at 0.5 watts. With such low transmitting power the fox may not be heard at all until the hunter is within a quarter mile. The fox will play tones followed by my call sign in CW for 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off.

We will have a two hour time limit on finding the fox. If everyone does so quickly we will attempt a second hunt. Sorry, no prizes, just bragging rights, as this is our first hunt. At sometime in the near future we will also have a hunt on foot.

Because fox hunts do not require transmissions by the hunters, an amateur radio license is not required to participate. we have a few handheld radios we can lend out to unlicensed folks who wish to play.

Please look for W1MA on the air. We did this last year and the students loved it. In particular, the female students enjoyed talking with Shannon, K1WIT, on VHF, so it would be great if some of our women members could join us.

We realize that some locations, individuals, and groups may be subject to COVID restrictions. We encourage everyone who is affected by these restrictions to utilize their home or mobile stations to check into the net if possible. Even if you cannot reach all the systems being used, please check-in on those you can.

We are always looking for groups or organizations to try their hand at Net Control duties. If you are interested in trying your hand at Net Control please let us know. We can be reached by sending an email to ssh...@outlook.com or replying to this message. The goal is to rotate Net Control practice and the experience among as many individuals and groups as possible.

Given the first Saturday in July is so close to the July 4th holiday, and many folks are extending the holiday through Friday and into weekend, we thought it best to hold the NET on the following Saturday.
