Don’t Miss These Bonus Points at Field Day!

This year, your club can get up to an extra 200 points for sending formal messages (radiograms) from the Field Day site over amateur RF.  Last year, I helped one club do this.  This year, I’d like to do more.

I’ve been doing ‘Virtual NTS training’ (https://groups.io/g/VNTN) for the past couple of months over Zoom, and thought that maybe I could help other clubs in the area by doing an abbreviated training session focused on Field Day radiograms.

I’ve put a little web page at https://www.qsl.net/n1cvo/FDNTS.htm with the details.  If anything changes, I will be modifying that page.

It is intended for clubs in Massachusetts, but there is also interest from clubs in other states.  We will be recording the Zoom meetings and posting the link to the FDNTS page referenced above.  On Field Day Saturday, there will be a special Field Day traffic net on the MMRA network at 4pm, 6pm and potentially 8pm.

If you want a head start, there is a good intro to creating and voicing radiograms at: https://www.k8amh.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/National-Traffic-System-and-Radiograms.pdf .
