The following is an attempt to define the information that should be placed in
the "TO" and the "@" portions of a message. These help comprise the
HIRARCHIAL ADDRESS of a message. The two types of messages that are discussed
here are PERSONAL and BULLETINS.
If it is a Personal Message, the first line that is sent may look like this:
³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Send the Private message
³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ TO K7AYC
³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄ distribute to the BBS N7FSP
³ ³ ³ located in WAshington state
³ ³ ³ in the USA
³ ³ ³ in North America
ÄÙ ÄÄÁÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
example 1: SP K7AYC @ N7FSP.WA.USA.NA
Or, if it is a Bulletin, it may look something like this:
³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Bulletin
³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ addressed TO anyone interested in
³ ³ AMSAT information
³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ distribute to the geographic
³ ³ ³ location Pacific NorthWest
ÄÙ ÄÄÁÄÄ ÄÁÄ
example 2: SB AMSAT @ PNW
In example 1 the message being sent is Personal and needs a specific
GEOGRAPHIC HIERARCHICAL address. The hierarchy of the address is parsed
from right to left and identifies the location of the station to whom
the message is addressed. The format of that address is as follows:
ÚÄÄÄÄ Send Personal ÚÄ NA - N. America
³ ÃÄ SA - S. America
ÄÙ ÃÄ EU - Europe
SP AAAAAA @ DDDDDD.SS.BBB.CC ÃÄ AS - Asia
ÄÄÂÄÄÄ ÄÄÂÄÄÄ ÚÄ ÄÂÄ ÚÄ ÃÄ AF - Africa
³ ³ ³ ³ ÀÄÄ CONTINENT ÄÄ examples ÄÁÄ AU - Australia
³ ³ ³ ³
³ ³ ³ ÀÄÄ COUNTRY ÄÄÄÄ examples ÄÄÄÄÂÄ ARG - Argentina
³ ³ ³ ÃÄ AUS - Australia
³ ³ ÀÄÄ STATE or PROVINCE ÃÄ CAN - Canada
³ ³ (see note below) ÃÄ FRA - France
³ ³ ÃÄ GBR - Great Britan
³ ³ ÃÄ JPN - Japan
³ ÀÄÄ DESTINATION BBS CALLSIGN ÃÄ MEX - Mexico
³ ÃÄ NZL - New Zeland
ÀÄÄ ADDRESSEE CALLSIGN ÃÄ MEX - Mexico
ÀÄ USA - United States
NOTE - The state (or province) can be left out if it is not requ`red for
the country to which the message is destined.
In example 2 the message being sent is a Bulletin. In Bulletins the hierarchy
of the address is expressed in both the TO (expressing an AREA OF INTEREST)
and the @ (expressing the GEOGRAPHICAL ADDRESS) portions of the address.
Send Bulletin ÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ TO portion of address identifies
³ ³ the AREA OF INTEREST
³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄ @ portion of address identifies and
ÄÙ ÄÄÄÁÄÄ ÄÄÄÁÄÄ limits GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
SB TTTTTT @ DDDDDD
The TO portion identifies the AREA OF INTEREST, which usually is a topic such
as ARRL, EXAMS, SALE, SAT, etc. It helps identify the population of persons
who have an interest in reading the Bulletin.
The @ portion of the message narrows the distribution of the Bulletin to
specific GEOGRAPHIC AREAS (e.g. ALLBBS, PNW, ORGB, etc.) and in a few cases
to a broad topical area (e.g. SYSOP, AMSAT).
Some examples:
SB SALE @ PNW ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ advertise an ham gear for sale in Pacific NW
SB DX @ USA ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ a DX bulletin for distribution in whole USA
SB MSYS @ SYSOP ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ MSYS information (for SYSOPs only)
SB USERS @ K7UKP ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Information for users of K7UKP BBS
SB CLUB @ K7UKP ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ a club bulletin for persons on K7UKP BBS
The following are examples of the information that should be placed in the TO
position of a BULLETIN. They identify the AREA OF INTEREST.
