In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “Passing traffic is a
ham radio activity that’s nearly as old as ham radio itself, and getting
accurate messages to their destination in a timely manner takes training and
skill. In addition to participating in nets, hams also have the opportunity to
take on ARRL Field Organization positions that are responsible for traffic. In
this episode, we talk to Ethan Hansen, KC1OIP, who fulfills one such position,
Official Relay Station, in ARRL’s National Traffic System. Listen in to
learn about what it takes to become an Official Relay Station, how the
position makes a difference in the community, and how it benefits your
amateur radio skills and experience.”
