Something over a decade ago I was active in National Traffic System nets, b
oth phone and CW. I got a lot of satisfaction especially from the CW nets,
at the section, region, and area level. But even then, I could see the sy
stem starting to unravel as the amount of routine traffic dropped to almost
nothing. There were starting to be section nets that were not represented
at the region level, and the overall activity level was declining.

Then life got in the way, and I've been off the air since about 2005. What
would I find if I got back on HF now and looked for the nets that I used t
o so much enjoy? Does the NTS that I knew a decade ago still exist? I've l
ooked for current information, and the impression that I get is that what's
left is all digital.
