Section Traffic Manager (STM)

The STM is appointed by the Section Manager
<https://www.arrl.org/section-managers-only>to supervise traffic handling
organization at the section level--that is, to coordinate all traffic
efforts within the section, regardless of mode or National Traffic System
affiliation, so that routings within the section and connections with other
networks and digital traffic nodes will result in orderly and efficient
traffic flow.

*Requirements:* Familiarity with traffic handling on all modes; Technician
class license or higher; Full ARRL Membership

*Responsibilities:*

   - Establish, administer, and promote a traffic handling program at the
   section level, based on, but not restricted to, National Traffic System
   <https://www.arrl.org/nts-manual> networks.
   - Develop and implement one or more effective training programs within
   the section that address the needs of both traditional and digital modes of
   traffic handling. Insure that Net Managers
   <https://www.arrl.org/net-manager> place particular emphasis on the
   needs of amateurs new to formal network traffic handling, as well as those
   who receive, send, and deliver formal traffic on a "casual" basis, via
   RTTY, AMTOR, and Packet based message storage and bulletin board systems.
   - Cooperate and coordinate with the Section Emergency Coordinator
   <https://www.arrl.org/section-emergency-coordinator>so that traffic nets
   and emergency nets in the section present a unified public service front.
   - Recommend candidates for Net Managers and Official Relay Station
   <https://www.arrl.org/official-relay-station> appointments to the SM.
   Issue appointments/cancellations and appropriate certificates. At the SM's
   discretion, the STM may directly make or cancel NM and ORS appointments.
   - Insure that all traffic nets within the section are properly and
   adequately staffed, with appropriate direction to Net Managers, as
   required, which results in coverage of all Net Control and liaison
   functions. Assign liaison coverage adequate to insure that all digital
   bulletin boards and message storage systems within the section are polled
   on a daily basis, to prevent misaddressed, lingering, or duplicated
   radiogram-formatted message traffic.
   - Maintain familiarity with proper traffic handling and directed net
   procedures applicable to all normally-used modes within the section.
   - Collect and prepare accurate monthly net reports and submit them to
   ARRL Headquarters, either directly or via the Section Manager, but in any
   case on or prior to the established deadlines.
   - Encouraged to earn certification in Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the ARRL
   Emergency Communications Course
