WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE #25-12
NEW VIRTUAL NTS TRAINING NET
Many Technician class amateurs miss out on fun and skills of learning NTS traffic handling. The Virtual NTS Training Net (VNTN) 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.
VNTN will 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 “RF” traffic nets. The net will incorporate a “hands-on” training approach in traffic procedures, radiogram creation, and relay. The goal of participation in VNTN is to motive these new licensees to join section and region nets on HF after upgrading to a higher license class.
The Net meets Wednesdays at 1900 Eastern Time. Plans are underway to move the time to 2000 Eastern Time in May. The VNTN URL is: <https://bitl.to/3xj4>.
