Notes:
The category identified as "Other" encompasses special nets held outside of the normally scheduled Early and Late sessions. That held in June represents a special, ad hoc net convened between 10:00 and 12:00 on Sunday morning of Field Day weekend, while the one in November depicts a 4h34m Simulated Emergency Test conducted by the combined Early and Late nets on the fourteenth of that month.

Notes:
Careful examination will reveal that some nets are not represented in this graphic. This is due to an absence of monthly report summaries, not a lack of activity.

Beginning in August, stats for digital traffic passing through the North Texas Section is being tracked.

The numbers on which these graphs are based represent the actual traffic passed. On occasion, traffic is listed, but for one reason or another is not able to be relayed to another station. Activity falling under this category is not included.

For additional information regarding the nets listed in the second graphic, please visit the "State-wide Traffic Net Schedule" page.
