The Houston Local Traffic Net (HLTN) was formed July 14, 2020 in preparation for ARRL Field Day 2020. Originally called the Fort Bend County Traffic Net, the HLTN has been in continuous operation since then. The nets ran on Monday nights for one hour with training sessions during the net. Because of the volume and interest in the Traffic Net, on April 15, 2021 an additional session was added on Thursday nights for 30 minutes and in 2020 the time was increased for up to an hour to also accommodate training.
The Houston Local Traffic Net currently meets from 6:30pm – 7:30pm twice a week handling National Traffic System (NTS) traffic (Radiograms) into and around the Houston Metro area and also includes, time permitted, traffic handling/training.
Monday’s net: 146.940 (-) PL 167.9
Thursday’s Net: 147.000 (+) PL 103.5
Backup repeater for both: 147.190 PL 123.0
A complete schedule of Area Traffic Nets is located on the HLTN.org 'Nets' web tab with the times and
frequencies. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to check-in to listen and learn this important Amateur
Radio skill. Direct any questions, via phone or email, about the Houston Local Traffic Net, Radiograms, and
Traffic handling to: Sheree Horton WM5N, ARRL South Texas Section Traffic Manager
