Many Technician class amateurs miss out on fun and skills learning of traffic handling because they reside in areas of the country where local traffic nets on VHF repeaters don\u2019t exist. The Virtual NTS Training Net (VNTN<\/span>) seeks to address this problem with the creation of a Zoom-based local traffic net that can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.<\/p>\n

VNTN<\/span>\u00a0will accept check-ins and radiogram traffic utilizing standard phonetics and pro-signs; in short, participants will enjoy the same experiences as those who check into conventional \u201cRF\u201d traffic nets.\u00a0 The net will incorporate a \u201chands-on\u201d training approach in traffic procedures, radiogram creation, and relay.<\/p>\n

It is our hope that new amateurs who participate in\u00a0VNTN<\/span>\u00a0will be motivated to join section and region nets on HF after upgrading to a higher license class.<\/p>\n

The Net meets Wednesdays at 7:00 PM ET.\u00a0 In future, it is hoped that a west coast version will be established at around 7 PM PT. The\u00a0VNTN<\/span> URL is:\u00a0 https:\/\/bitl.to\/4tL3<\/a>.<\/p>\n
