Unfortunately, the National Traffic System has been allowed to decline in most Sections. It is the responsibility of the individual Section Manager and Section Traffic Manager to promote and oversee the NTS in each Section. Not all of the nets listed on this page are part of the NTS although they may pass formal traffic from time to time.
