1. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF TANGO MEMBERS DROPPING OUT OF THE
NAVMARCORMARS PROGRAM. THIS COULD BE DUE TO FRUSTRATION, CONFUSION,
AND BEING OVERWHELMED BY THE REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO
GET ANSWERS. HOW DO WE FIX THIS.
2. AN ELMER PROGRAM MAY BE THE TOOL TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEMS FACED BY
THE TANGO MEMBERS.
3. THIS PROGRAM CAN BE STARTED AT THE STATE OR REGION LEVEL. THIS
PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY FOR BOTH THE TANGO STATIONS AND THE EXPERIENCED
STATIONS ASSIGNED AS ELMERS.
4. TANGO MEMBERS WILL BE PAIRED WITH EXPERIENCED STATIONS, WHO WILL HELP
THE TANGO DURING THE LEARNING PROCESS. THE ELMERS WILL FUNCTION AS A POINT
OF CONTACT, WHERE TANGO MEMBERS MAY GET ANSWERS TO THEIR QUESTIONS IN AN
INFORMAL WAY. THE ELMER IS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION AS TO THE TANGO'S
QUALIFICATIONS FOR REGULAR MEMBERSHIP, AND THE ELMER'S COMMENTS AND
SUGGESTIONS CAN HELP GUIDE AND FOCUS THE TANGO'S TRAINING PROGRAM ALONG
WITH THE STATE'S TRAINING OFFICER.
5. ANY REGULAR MEMBER CAN VOLUNTEER OR FUNCTION IN THE CAPACITY OF AN
ELMER. INTERESTED MEMBERS SHOULD CONTACT THEIR STATE DIRECTOR THAT THEY
ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING AN ELMER.
6. LETS GET STARTED WITH AN ELMER PROGRAM. WE ALL KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE LEARNING AND HAD NOBODY TO HELP US OUT WHEN WE
WERE TANGO MEMBERS. WITH THE HELP OF THISTA, STATE TRAINING OFFICERS , AND
ELMERS, THE TANGO'S WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND COMPLETE THEIR TRAINING
WITH LITTLE OR NO PROBLEMS TO BECOME REGULAR MEMBERS.

1. NOW THAT WE ARE USING THE WL2K SYSTEM FOR MESSAGES, THERE HAS BEEN SOME
QUESTIONS BROUGHT UP ABOUT HOW TO SEND ADMIN OR EVEN EEI MESSAGES.
2. FIRST OFF, WE ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR ROUTING THE MESSAGES TO THE ADDEES
WHERE WITH THE MDS, THE MULTI PROGRAM DID IT.
3. THE FOLLOWING IS THE WL2K ADDRESSES FOR SOME ADDEES:
NNN0ASI ONE NNN-ASI01(AT)WINLINK.ORG
NNN0ASI TWO NNN-ASI02(AT)WINLINK.ORG
NNN0ASI FOUR NNN-ASI04(AT)WINLINK.ORG
NNN0ASI FIVE NNN-ASI05(AT) WINLINK.ORG
4. IF YOUR REGION DIRECTOR, REGION STAFF, STATE DIRECTOR, AND STATE STAFF
HAVE WINLINK.ORG ADDRESS, MAKE SURE YOU USE THEM.
5. IF THERE ARE NO WL2K ADDRESSES, THEN THE TRAFFIC NEEDS TO BE ROUTED TO THE
STATE'S WL2K ADDRESS.
6. WRT REF A, PARAGRAPH 4 STATES THAT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY ZEN ALL
MESSAGES TO NNN0ASI SNE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THAT MEANS THAT IN THE
HEADING OF MESSAGES, "ZEN" SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF NNN0ASI SNE.
7. WRT REF B, ALL ADMIN AND ECOM MESSAGES (INCLUDING EEI REPORTS) GO TO NNN-
ASI01(AT)WINLINK.ORG AND NOT TO NNN0ASI(AT) WINLINK.ORG.
8. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU INCLUDE THE EXTENSION "(AT)WINLINK.ORG"
FOR NNN0ASI ONE, NNN0ASI TWO, NNN0ASI FOUR, AND NNN0ASI FIVE BECAUSE THESE
STATIONS ARE USING PACLINK WHICH REQUIRES "(AT) WINLINK.ORG".
9. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT
NNN0ASI4(AT)NAVYMARS.ORG (ALL LOWER CASE) AND I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN TO YOU
BETTER.

1. THIS IS THE FIRST NEA TRAINING BCST. I PLAN ON IN THE FUTURE TO PUT
OUT TRAINING BCSTS ON ANY CHANGE IN PROCEDURES OR CORRECTIONS
TO PRESENT PROCEDURES.
2. I RECENTLY RECEIVED ECOM MESSAGES FROM A STATE VIA WL2K. THE
ECOM MESSAGES WERE SENT AS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE MESSAGES.
3. I HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO OPEN THE ATTACHMENT SINCE IT DIDN'T
OPEN LIKE AN ATTACHMENT IN AN EMAIL. IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO OPEN THE ATTACHMENT TO READ IT.
4. I SENT AN EMAIL TO NNN0ASZ ASKING ABOUT THE WAY THE ECOM
MESSAGES WERE SENT AND THE TIME SPENT OPENING THE ATTACHMENTS.
5. NNN0ASZ ANSWER WAS THAT ATTACHMENTS CAN BE SENT BY WL2K,
BUT IT ISN'T THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE AN EEI MESSAGE (OR ANY TRAFFIC).
HE SAID THAT THE RECEIVING STATION WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE
ATTACHMENT TO READ IT OR TO KNOW WHO IS AN ADDEE. THIS SLOWS
THINGS DOWN AND PROVIDES NO BENEFIT.
6. A GOOD EXAMPLE WOULD BE USING A STATE TRAFFIC REP. THE TRAFFIC
REP JUST RECEIVED AN EEI MESSAGE VIA WL2K IN AN ATTACHMENT. NOW
THE TRAFFIC REP HAS TO OPEN THE ATTACHMENT TO SEE WHO THE ADDEE
IS IN THE STATE. IF THE ORIGINATOR DOESN'T "ZEN/" STATIONS, THE
TRAFFIC REP IS REQUIRED TO ROUTE TO ALL OF THE ADDEES.
7. SO ATTACHMENTS ARE GREAT IN SOME CASES, BUT NOT FOR NORMAL
NAVMARCORMARS TRAFFIC.
