Traffic Handling Steps

Listen First

Report Traffic

Route Accurately

Clear Frequency

Monitor the frequency before transmitting. Ensure the Net Control Station has opened the session and is standing by for check-ins.

State your call sign clearly and indicate if you have emergency, priority, or routine welfare messages ready for routing.

Transmit messages using standard NTS-compliant formats. Confirm spelling of names and addresses with standard phonetics to prevent any routing errors.

Once your traffic is routed and acknowledged, return the frequency to Net Control and stand by for further coordination.
