Hello Bob, there is a way to get those messages to count - NTS
formatted.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t forget, you can call CQ to every
other APRS Field Day site in the country using Pete’s CQSRVR
(or Lynn’s ANSRVR).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sitting there at your portable FD APRS
station, reach out to the world.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 1: Just send an APRS message to
CQSRVR and make the first two words of the message be “CQ FD
…” and your exchange.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your message will go to every other APRS FD
site that has also sent such a message.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But like any band, calling CQ is usless
unless someone answers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 2: When you see similar CQ’s from
other APRS stations, now you have their callsign!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 3: MAKE the QSO by now sending a
specific MESSAGE to their CALLSIGN acknowledging their
exchange info.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 4: When you see an ACK, the QSO is
complete.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These contacts do NOT COUNT for FD points.
But heck, it is fun, and what else is APRS for but fun and
showing off.</p>
