  • STATION OF ORIGIN

Who started the message

  • PLACE OF ORIGIN

Where the person is that asked for this message to be sent originally.

  • TIME FILED, [TIME], OPTIONAL

Time the message was originally sent.

  • DAY FILED,

is the day of the month on which the message was originated and must be used on all messages.

  • ADDRESS PART
    The second section of the message is used to specify the name, address, city, state, zip, and telephone number of the addressee. From the example message:
  • Message up to 25 words punctuation
    characters are not used in the text except as follows:  The slash,

 “/”, is used to separate characters within a group, as in 304/BA. Since the “/” is part of the group it does not qualify as a separate group for the check. Although usually not used as a group by itself (a space on the left and on the right), if so used it would be counted in the check.

X: The letter “X” used to denote a period. The letter “X” is never used as the last group of the text. The “X” is a separate group and IS counted for the check

 R: . The letter “R” is used in place of a decimal in mixed figure groups, as in 7013R5 (7013.5), or   146R670 (146.670). Since the “R” is part of the group it does not qualify as a separate group for the check. (The inclusion of the “R” makes the group a “mixed group” for transmission on voice.)

  • Check Counting Word Groups
    An easy rule to remember about counting word groups: ANY GROUP OF ONE OR MORE CONSECUTIVE CHARACTERS WITH NO INTERRUPTING SPACES, WITH A SPACE BEFORE IT AND AFTER IT, IS COUNTED AS ONE GROUP.
  • Signature


your name and call sign
