* NCTC stands for North Central Texas Connection and is the combination of the former RAILS System serving Northeast Texas and the old Waspnet Link System that stretched across the DFW Metroplex and the Red River Valley. Nathan Bailey, N5REL, Trustee for K5SST updated the repeater's IDs over Field Day weekend 2013 to reflect this change from "RAILS" to "NCTC Link System."

The NCTC system is used to support the NWS in
Ft.Worth TX. The FLG system is used to support the NWS in Shreveport
LA. When the two system are linked together this allows both weather
services to communicate via RF and gather information from storm
spotters across North Central and North East Texas, Southwest Arkansas
and Northwest LA.
The NCTC system is linked with the Freedom-Link Group (FLG) every
Wednesday and Sunday. You can use either the 444.825 or 145.110
repeaters on these two days to access the combined linked systems.
The East Texas
Emergency Communication Services (ETECS) is on occasion
connected to the NCTC system. The Emergency
Repeater Service (ERS) in North Dallas is on most days
connected to the NCTC system. Especially for the Net that occurs every
Thursday night at 8:30pm.
