Ever herd of a Traffic Net? Alabama Traffic Net Mike takes place every night at 6:00pm on 3.965 MHz on the 80m band.

A Traffic Net is an organized amateur radio meeting on the air specifically designed to relay written messages (called written traffic or ARRL Radiograms) from one location to another.

Historically, this was how hams sent text messages long before cell phones and the internet. Today, traffic nets serve as vital training for disaster response and emergency communications, ensuring operators know how to pass critical information accurately when grid infrastructure fails.

📡 Great turnout and a great program at the Cullman Amateur Radio Club!

N4TUN – Cullman Amateur Radio Club would like to thank Ross Jacobs for joining us and giving an excellent presentation on MeshCore and the possibilities of off-grid, LoRa-based mesh communications. (MeshCore - Official Site⁠)

Ross’s presentation definitely got some gears turning! Several members and guests left with plenty of questions, ideas, and—quite possibly—another radio-related project to explain to their spouses. 😄

We had 26 members and guests in attendance, and it was great to see so much interest and discussion sparked by the presentation.

A big THANK YOU to Ross for taking the time to share his knowledge, demonstrate the technology, and introduce us to another interesting corner of the radio and communications world.

Something tells us this probably won’t be the last time MeshCore comes up around N4TUN! 👀📡

Thanks to everyone who attended and helped make it another great club meeting!

73 from N4TUN – Cullman Amateur Radio Club!
