North Central Texas Connection
KF5LKG on the tower making repairs in high winds. Support team KB5WB and KG5RDF. East bound radio repaired and improvements made to 444.925.
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.
NCTC Weekly Net Time – Thursday Evenings @ 20:30 Hours (8:30 P.M.)

Good times enjoyed by all at Belton Hamfest! Welcome Christie Barnard new HAM Technician!
ALLSTAR Protocol:
Allstar has offered a new avenue to interconnect RF sites into NCTC. Make sure you read the System Protocols. The only node to connect to NCTC is 47115. Enter the system solo, do not be linked to any other Allstar systems, and or nodes, unless they are yours. We implemented a White List. If you read the System Protocols, and understand my above comments, please request access via david@kg5rdf.com.
As we continue to expand the Allstar System, the link point for Node 47115 will change. The following link will help you determine the best linkage. In the end 47115 will be the final linage point.
