On this week's ARES net we gauged experience with traffic handling and decided that starting next week we will begin training on the subject. We will start with the ARRL National Traffic System (NTS) Radiogram.
Pictured here are two examples of radiograms.
The first is a Standard radiogram. It reads like a typical message:
The second example is an Numbered radiogram. It uses a code for brevity and does not read as easily as the standard radiogram:
We will discuss this form on the next net or two as needed, and then we will practice sending and receiving radiograms, or "handling traffic."
At the following links you can download a radiogram form that I created as a spreadsheet. A similar product used to be available, called the "pink sheet." This one isn't pink but it has all the same info and more. They are all the same form, just in different formats. The PDF probably will look the best, as it is essentially a snapshot of the file as I created it. Not sure how well the other formats converted as I exported them.
