The NATIONAL EMCOMM TRAFFIC SERVICE uses designated watch and calling
frequencies. Public service amateur radio operators everywhere are invited to
monitor these frequencies whenever possible. But when disasters or other
incidents occur, emcomm operators are asked to warm up their radios and "light
up" the NATIONAL EMCOMM TRAFFIC SERVICE..."24/7". Active operators know which
bands are most likely to be "open" depending upon the time of day, season,
etc.
During disasters and for other emergencies the frequencies are "open
nets". When traffic becomes heavy they will become "command and control"
frequencies with a net control station "triaging traffic" and directing stations
with traffic to another (traffic) frequency. (At least 5 kHz away.) Proper net
procedures are essential.
NETS does not maintain regular schedules
and does not handle routine "make work" messages such as birthday greetings,
"your license is about to expire", "book messages", etc.) NETS is
intended to supplement and fortify other networks by providing a vehicle for
EmComm operators to originate, relay and deliver legal radio message traffic
(i.e. - "first class mail") of any precedence, at any time, from and to anyone
and anywhere. Especially during disasters or other crises. NETS stations will
cooperate and utilize other networks that are known to be capable of accurately
and efficiently handling RADIOGRAMS.
