NTS messages can be sent from any PBBS. The format is as follows: At the PBBS Prompt issue the command "ST XXXXX @NTSYY" where XXXXX is the 5 digit zip code for the destination and YY is the 2 letter abbreviation for the state or province (e.g. NTSNJ, NYSNY, NTSTX etc.) When the PBBS responds with the title prompt enter "QTC Town AAA-AAA" where Town is the destination city/town and AAA-AAA is the telephone area code and three digit exchange. When the PBBS asks you to send the message, type in the NTS message in standard format. For example NR 945 R WB2FTX 5 BUTLER NJ OCT 22 BEN JONES 110 MAIN STREET BLOOMFIELD NJ 07003 BT THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE BT DAVE WB2FTX AR You can enter either 5 or 10 words to a line. The BT and AR are used in the same fashion as on CW and Phone. At the end of the message issue either a control-z or "/ex" to tell the PBBS that you have finished the message. 73 Dave WB2FTX SYSOP Section Traffic Manager NNJ
