NTS Messages


 

Hi, all. I am wanting to receive NTS messages on my system and have no idea where to begin.? I have had some interest from local hams that pass traffic.? Looking for some assistance in getting started.??
?
Thanks!

There is noting you need to do to receive them unless you have something filtering them.
?
You only need to find forwarding partners willing to receive them from you for further forwarding or distribution.?? Then create a route to forward them.
If a fowarding partner agrees to accept NTS messages from you then put NTS* in the AT column of his forwarding record.
If a fowarding partner agrees to accept only NTS messages to TX (for example) enter NTSTX in that partners record.
If you have a forwarding partner that 'delivers' only to zip code 77356 (for example) enter 77356 in the TO column of that partner.
Wild cards work, so if he says he will deliver any zip starting with 773 then enter 773*
?
?
But, you need to find a forwarding partner will to accept ALL NTS messages to start with and use the NTS* form to begin with so that no NTS message will be stuck on your BBS with nowhere to go.
?
Local users can create and post NTS message to your BBS.? They just need to address them properly so that they are type T messages and not a NTS Form within a personal or bulletin message.

You could consider being part of the Digital Traffic Network. See

Since you are using Windows, set your monitor window to see only your AXIP port, and Monitor UI only. Clear the screen with Edit - Clear Monitor Window.
?
After a while you will see only the ID beacons of your forwarding partners.? Look and see if any advertise RRI or traffic handling.? I see several on mine and forward traffic with them as required.

FL has a very robust digital traffic program.

Contact Dave Sheppard, W2PAX, South FL Traffic Manager.? He has been coordinating the FL digital program.

His QRZ information is good.
