TEXTS FOR FREQUENTLY-HEARD MESSAGES 
Updated February 28, 2008

These originating stations send out large numbers of messages with common texts. It pays to keep a copy of this help file handy so you can avoid having the texts repeatedly sent to you.  In some cases, the sender has more than one common text, and these are differentiated by the Check Count.  If you see any new bulk mail messages circulating on the nets, let us know and we will add them to this list.

Each of these message is formatted for five words on each line, which matches the standard Radiogram form, and will aid you in verifying the check count.

BT is the BREAK prosign.
