6. Announcements.

+ +

6.1 Making announcements. +

+ +

Occasionally, you may wish to post something that does not fall into +the normal parameters for a DX callout. You may wish to tell +everybody connected that 10 FM is open for example, or ask if anyone +knows the QSL manager for a certain callsign etc. You can do this +using the ANNOUNCE command.

+

Example:

+

+

+
+announce 10 FM is open in IO84NB to europe.
+
+
+

+

That would let everyone know locally that this was the case, however +it would not be forwarded to other nodes connected. To send +announcements to other connected nodes as well, you would use the +FULL extension.

+

Example:

+

+

+
+announce full Anyone seen EA7WA today?
+
+
+

+

Be cautious in your use of announce full. There are many other tools +available to get the information you require and the judicious use of +this command is frowned upon as it creates a great deal of traffic +across the network.

+ +

6.2 Listing announcements. +

+ +

You can list previous announcements in the standard format with the +SHOW command. As before you can list just the last 5 or as +many as you wish.

+

Example:

+

+

+
+show/announcements
+show/announcements 10
+
+
