January 2016 Eastern Area NTS Digital Report..

The January 2016 report for the Eastern Area of the National Traffic System Digital (NTSD) is attached.

NTSD is part of the ARRL sponsored National Traffic System and consists of a cadre of fully automated store and forward bulletin board type systems known as Mail Box Operations (MBO) or hubs operating on HF using high speed Pactor 3 protocols on a 24/7 basis moving formal message traffic. The goal of NTSD is to move that traffic via digital means to the closest point of delivery at which point it is then removed from the automated system by operators known as Digital Relay Stations (DRS).
The DRS then take this traffic to the nets at region, section, and local levels for any additional necessary relay and ultimate delivery.

There were a total of  7554  pieces of message traffic handled by Eastern Area NTSD during  January.
This was accomplished by 6 automated MBO stations representing NTS areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 and a total of 60  individual Digital Relay Stations reporting at regional, section, or local NTS levels. A similar level of activity for January also existed in both the Central and Pacific Areas of NTSD.

Welcome to new Digital Relay Stations Ray K2RMF for Western New York and Jim KY2D for northern New Jersey

Keep warm.
