You can use it to send a congratulations message or any other non-sensitive communication between

The NTS is in place in case of an emergency. What happens if the big earthquake happens and knocks out all the cell towers and Internet connections out in San

How do you get a message into the system? Just look up your local ham radio club and contact the president of the group. He'll know what to do. Send a simple message to your son, daughter, or grandchild who
lives in a distant town or city. Request they send a Radiogram postcard.
Are you a ham operator or have one in your family?
Can you ask that ham to contact me via email? Thanks!
