Narrative:
While transitioning through springdale, ar, airspace (tower closed) northeast to southwest at 1700 ft MSL (500 ft AGL), I heard razorback approach say on second communication 'traffic approximately 1 mi from your position.' knowing I was approximately 7 mi southeast of xna, the local air carrier airport, I called razorback approach and gave a position report. I am not sure if traffic was near my aircraft or another and we never saw them. No NOTAMS were seen during my printed WX duats briefing (saved). Razorback approach did not state any conflicts.
