NTS traffic is addressed very simply:@NTS. So if I was going to send an
NTS message to the ARRL I would use 06111@NTSCT. Simple, right? And
I'm assuming that most BBSs would allow you to route traffic based on
the @NTSportion of the address but not FBB. FBB routes traffic based on
the zipcode *only*. While this does allow a more fine tuning this
also means that your forward.sys file will be quite long for routing NTS
traffic all over the US and Canada and you'll also have to figure out
the zip code schema. Not to worry as I've already done that last part
for you. Below is the complete list of zip codes per state. Simply
copy and paste which zip codes a forwarding BBS will handle into their
portion of the forward.sys file and off you go.
