Communications The Radio-Relay Traffic Net Database has been updated as of 6/25/2020. Thank you to those who have submitted information to build this database. This directory lists active traffic nets in North America, Europe and Oceania, no matter the affiliation. Whether you are a newcomer to traffic handling, or a well-seasoned veteran, this will make it easier to find a net near you that can handle traffic. The database is sorted first by Area (EU, OC, EAN, CAN, WAN), then by Region, then by State, then by Time (Time Zone is local or Zulu). If a Net Manager is known, then their call and email address are listed. As always, if you see something missing, changed or needs to be deleted please email Charles.Hargrove@Radio-Relay.org with the details. http://radio-relay.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/TrafficNets.pdf 73, Radio Relay International --- Six Meter Net every Sunday night on 50.160.0 USB at 8 PM CDT.
