CT Region 3 ARES

Please note a message I received from our SET regarding the use of Airmail message precedence indicators.

Attached is something I forwarded previously regarding Airmail Precedence that you ought to have at hand during the SET. Please note the desirability of using message precedence indicators in the subject line during a drill or a real emergency. It lets the recipient focus on the highest priority message(s) first. Also, including “//W2LK” in the subject SHOULD bypass any Winlink Whitelist issues.

I will use (and encourage you to use) the following example as BOTH part of the Airmail Subject line AND the file name for an attached QForms message: N1CLV 11001TP

The callsign indicates who it is FROM, the NUMBER identifies the specific message, and the E/P/R/W indicates the message Precedence.

Note: we will use TP/TR/TW for our drill or “test” messages during the SET. We should NOT use E during the drill except for an ACTUAL REAL EMERGENCY.

So the full Airmail subject line for this example would be: //WL2K P/ N1CLV 11001TP

See you on the radio on Saturday!
