ENTERING A MESSAGE
To transmit a message, first enter the call sign of the target
station. To transmit a bulletin, enter “BLN#” instead; where
# must be 0 to 9 or A to Z. When the length of your bulletin
exceeds 64 digits, you may transmit more than one packet
to send the entire bulletin. Use # to indicate the sequence
of the bulletin portions. For example, enter “BLN0” (or
“BLNA”) to send the first packet, then “BLN1” (or “BLNB”)
to send the second packet.
