RADIOGRAM?

Posted on 2023-03-23

What’s the point of radiograms? Really? Emergency communications? Haha. I was at the hamfest on March 18th and someone told me they heard a message passed for me on a recent traffic net. Oh really? I hadn’t received anything.

I’m familiar with radiograms as I had participated in practice messages on the AEN-MAR net years ago, but I’ve never sent one myself. Or have I? Anyway, I received this cluster of an email on Thursday. I’ve never handled traffic. Kentucky? They’ve misspelled my name, but address, phone, and email is right. Glad this wasn’t an emergency message as it took from March 16th apparently until the 23rd to email it to me. They’ve got my phone number, why not call?

Convince me otherwise in how radiogram traffic is even remotely useful?
