I don't know where you would go to find a
nicer bunch of people than the Texas Traffic Net (A.K.A. Daytime Texas
Traffic Net). This is one of the main reasons for HAM
Radio. In case of disaster, these guys are dedicated to keeping
the communications open. It is my goal to become a contributor
to this Net and to display the kindness and helpfulness that drew me
to join in with them. |
Texas
Traffic Net
As
an independent net and member of the National Traffic System (NTS),
the net passes radio traffic into and out of the state of Texas via
Amateur Radio. The net can normally be heard Monday - Saturdays
from 0830 to 0930 on 7285khz and from 1830-1930 on 3873khz
Central time . In the event of an emergency event, such as
tropical storms/hurricanes the net may be activated. All amateur
operators with a General Class or higher ham license are welcomed to
check into the net |
|
| I
just want to say how proud I am of the 7290 Traffic Net. This
Net has continually delivered traffic since 1953. It is
encouraging to see how well organized they are. I support their
efforts and I am committed to joining in with the 7290 Traffic Net
daily as I am able. Please take time to visit their website
and consider joining in when you have the opportunity.

I
try to adhere to the DX
Code Of Conduct
The DX Code of Conduct was formulated by Randy Johnson W6SJ.
I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling.
I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station’s call sign before calling.
I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
I will always send my full call sign.
I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other than mine.
When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I think he has copied it
incorrectly.
I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.
I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their
respect.
Having wonderful tools at my disposal does not abrogate my responsibility to operate in an unselfish manner.
I must still be courteous to
my fellow Hams.
