For this practice session, please send a priority plain text message with the text shown below to PKTMON at the appropriate BBS. The message must be received there between 00:00 on Tuesday and 19:00 on Monday. Do not use or send to W1XSC during this session; it has a simulated outage.
Subject:
Don't Write Form Messages
Message:
Form messages are third‑party messages. We send form messages that our served
agencies give us. We should not write form messages ourselves, even in drills.
We only write plain text, operator‑to‑operator messages.
**** This is drill traffic ****
