National Traffic System Traffic and Message Handling For Skill, Service, and Fun! The ARRL got its start to organize message delivery to get messages delivered efficiently, accurately to its destination by different radio stations. This tradition continues today using CW, voice, and digital.
Why practice traffic handling? It teaches operator good skills. It gives you valuable skills in times of emergency passing health and welfare messages. You learn how to operate under adverse conditions without power. You create friendships and comradery.
Any license class can handle traffic even with a basic HT. Ask a mentor, club, or go to nts2.arrl.org for more information. There are nets you can join to learn and practice this skill. Consider Traffic Handling as part of your Ham Radio experience!
