The Washington Amateur Radio Traffic System Net (WARTS Net) is the premiere traffic net for amateur radio message traffic for the state of Washington. Since it was first founded, December 23, 1947, this net has kept a daily schedule for the dissemination of radio messages through out the state of Washington and is the gateway to messages going to Alaska and British Columbia.  It is an affiliate of the National Traffic System and the ARRL®.

 This net meets every day at 1800 (6:00 PM) Pacific  Time on a frequency of 3970 kilohertz for the purpose of handling both formal and informal traffic for stations in and around the state of Washington. All stations are invited to check in when their city is called. If not on the roster, visitor check-ins will be taken at the end of the roll call.

To become a member of the net you must check-in a minimum of four (4) times in two (2) consecutive months (a total of eight (8) times) and then notify the Net Secretary of your intention to join the net. (See WARTS Net FAQ for more information.)
