Hi John, Until recently, I did not even think of going much above 14.095 or so. I have heard a number of Olivia stations above 14.100 this weekend. It may be where I live (north midwest U.S.), but there really are not that many digital signals on the bands (compared to phone and CW anyway).

There is an active digital system in NTS called NTSD employing Winlink software and coverage from area to area. Many NTS operators keyboard into these NTSD stations but the main problem as always is getting the trafic delivered locally. It makes no sense to be able to relay trafic via HF

Historically, most the NTS traffic was done via CW. It took more than a generation to get acceptance of BPL (Brass Pounder's League) for non CW voice modes. RTTY digital was used some, but I would have to say that it was always a niche area. For those of us who used to be NCS (Net Control

The ARRL folks should not be shocked at what has happened. When they negotiate agreements with other agencies (e.g. the American Red Cross) that prevent amateurs from collecting outgoing message traffic at emergency shelters, what do they expect? The ARRL admitted in one of the latest QST's

There should not be any difficulty getting messages into the NTS in most areas. This fall we had several nearby tornadoes. One about 4 miles from our QTH and the other about 20 miles. My wife (also a ham) passed on a message to me that one of the victims wanted sent to Alaska. It went out a
