Arrl bulletins
To: all arrl bulletin readers
From: paul newland, ad7i
Subject: bulletins, and how i get 'em.
Some folks have asked how i get the bulletins and place them onto
the net. What follows is a run through of the sequence of events
that i do to re-broadcast them via netnews.
I make it a habit to copy the arrl bulletins from w1aw almost
every night at 6 pm EST on 40 meters. For this, i use my heath
h89, running comm[]soft software, connected to the HAL ST-6 (it's
old technology, but it sure works!) with the ears on 7095.0 KHz.
During the broadcast i log all the data to disk, then following
the broadcast i edit out all the stale bulletins and try to make
any fills that might be needed (i rarely get them all). Next, i
run the bulletins through a filter to convert everything to lower
case. (The only reason for lower case is that i find it easier
to read lower case than upper case; other than that, there's no
special reason for lower case.)
The bulletins are then transferred to houxf and from there
entered to the net. I don't alway get the bulletins the same day
they are released, but a delay of more than 3 days should be
unusual.
Because of work commitments, i will be at WECo Denver all of next
week (NOV 16) and will be unable to send bulletins via the net,
perhaps someone else could pick up the slack.
Paul, ad7i
