Northwest Oregon Traffic and Training Net

The Northwest Oregon Traffic and Training net is one you are most likely to hear on the WORC Timber VHF 145.270 and UHF 441.8250 repeaters repeaters.  This net is on four days of every week of every month at 6:05 PM local time.   This net is a local contact point for the National Traffic System, which lets Hams send radiograms to anyone in the country at no charge.

Handling routine messages during this net provides participants with practice handling message traffic, preparing them for emergency conditions when Ham Radio is the only way left to send long distance messages.  Contact the net control operator to learn how you can participate in this activity.
