So, are any of the folks here going around the NTS on their own to work with their local, regional, state, or federal agencies directly? I know that is impolitic to suggest but I suspect there is the occasional disgruntled op who would like to leapfrog the enmired, entrenched, and embedded establishment. If talking about this openly bothers you, please contact me directly off-list.
Sure. I don't think we could call it "going around the NTS" but we don't "preach" the use of NTS to anyone. I've worked in the NTS for a long, long time but I think the NTS is just too slow in moving traffic to be useful for anything but routine traffic. And by the way, just so the person who made the snide remark about "waiting until all the old folks die off" know: the NTS is not just CW. Unfortunately, SSB is also used. But there IS an NTSD network that moves messages across the country using Pactor 1,2 and 3. But like I said in a previous answer, the real problem is delivery. 73, Mike _______________________________________________ fldigi-alpha mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/fldigi-alpha
