The “North Central Texas Connection (NCTC),” is a continuing work in progress. Without you, the donors, our technical staff and the various repeater owners and trustees, this system could never exist.

Most of the system is interconnected either by (420 Mhz.) full duplex links or NXU’s (Internet Extension Units “Wires & EchoLink”).

Our primary objective is to provide a backup system for the National Weather Service and their weather spotters during times of inclement weather. Please Read: “System Protocol”.

The secondary purpose is to provide for you the Amateur Radio Operator a way to communicate in the Dallas/ Ft.Worth metro area and the surrounding cities providing for technical talk and typical idle time chat.

Numerous long hours, weekends, donations of equipment and funding have allowed us to create this project. We hope you enjoy the system as much as we have enjoyed taking old equipment and giving it a new purpose. We look forward to hearing from you, and hope you enjoy this valuable resource.

Toot! Toot! Tooting my own horn here. The results are in for the 2017 ARRL International DX Contest (Phone) held this past March. In the category of Single operator QRP (5 watts) KJ5MA placed 9th among the field of 55 interntional operators and 6th place among W/VE entrants. I made 118 contacts in 47 different countries using a wire antenna on 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. The contest was a lot of fun and I encourage eveyone to particpate in th future. You might be surprised what you can do. 73, mack ... See MoreSee Less
