Hello David, I would like to ask what type of traffic is involved in the messages you mentioned (10,000 messages in Oct 2008).
I was surprised because so many people use email and cell phones. Where does this volume come from?

My original comments were made tongue in cheek.... But for the record.... NTS Digital operates 24/7 on 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, and 15 meters... There are mutiple stations that do this, again primarily dedicated to NTS traffic... Some of the delivery points are made through packet links, the rest are by individual liasions to the traditional NTS system...For the month of October 2008, Eastern Area NTSD (and that's Eastern Area only, Central and Pacific also have their own totals) handled over 10,000 NTS messages.... 73 Dave WB2FTX Eastern Area Digital Coordinator- NTSD [snip] ,_._,___
