Traffic Nets Even in these days of E-mail and other electronic means

of communication, the National Traffic System

(sending messages by radio)

continues to operate. Ohio has one statewide phone net -

the Ohio Single-Side Band Net (OSSBN)

and three CW statewide nets.

 

These are listed in each month's edition of Section News. In addition all our major metropolitan areas have nets on VHF and UHF repeaters.

 

Ohio's traffic nets are the best in the US!
