Charlie Echo (CE) is Probably the most commonly used combination. On Phone use Phonetics for the letter(s) following HX to avoid errors. Do Not use a slash between the letters. (EX. HX Charlie / Echo).
NOTE: When saying the numbers on phone, you say each number individually. For EX. HX Bravo Four Eight. And NOT Forty Eight.
Please Observe the following ARRL Provisions for PRECEDENCES in connection with
written Message Traffic. These Provisions are Designed to Increase the Efficiency of
our Service both in Normal times and in times of Emergency.
|
EMERGENCY |
Any message having life and death urgency to any person or group of
persons, which is transmitted by Amateur Radio in the absence of regular commercial
facilities. This includes official messages of welfare agencies during emergencies
requesting supplies, materials or instructions vital to relief of stricken populace
in emergency areas. During normal times, it will be very rare. On CW/RTTY, this
designation will always be spelled out. When in doubt, do not use it. |
|
PRIORITY |
Use abbreviation "P" on CW/RTTY. This classification is for:
A) Important messages having a specific time limit.
|
|
WELFARE |
This classification, abbreviated as "W" on CW/RTTY, refers to either an
inquiry as to the health and welfare of an individual in the disaster area or an
advisory from the disaster area that indicates all is well. Welfare traffic is
handled only after all emergency and priority traffic is cleared. The Red Cross
equivalent to an incoming Welfare message is DWI (Disaster Welfare Inquiry). |
|
ROUTINE |
Most traffic in normal times will bear this designation. In disaster situations, traffic labeled Routine "R" on CW/RTTY, should be handled last, or not at all when circuits are busy with higher precedence traffic. |
