Welcome to the home of the Southwest Florida Traffic Net. The SWFTN is the local affiliate of and is sponsored by the American Radio Relay League’s National Traffic System. The primary function of the SWFTN is to handle formal Radiogram message traffic as part of the NTS. We encourage you to visit the NTS websites for training materials and other resources.

https://nts2.arrl.org/
The SWFTN meets daily except Sunday at 10:00am ET on the 146.820(-) repeater, PL tone 136.5. We encourage everyone, with or without traffic, to check in. If you need assistance or have questions about anything we do on the SWFTN, or if you have any interest in becoming a member of the SWFTN staff, please contact the Net Manager.
