A. NTP 8(D), ARTICLE K620
1. THE RECENTLY UPDATED PACIFIC AREA OPERATIONS GUIDE (PAOG) HAS
BEEN POSTED TO THE PACIFIC AREA WEB SITE. MAJORITY OF CHANGES
ARE CONTAINED IN THE ECOM CHAPTER AND MAILBOX OPERATIONS.
2. COLLECTIVE CALL SIGNS REF A. CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING
MSGS CONTAINING COLLECTIVE CALL SIGNS. JUST BECAUSE THE MESSAGE
COMES FROM THE STATE WINLINK MAILBOX DOES NOT MAKE IT A NNN0ALL
MESSAGE. WHAT DOES MAKE IT AN NNN0ALL MESSAGE IS ONE OF THE ADDEES
IN THE HEADER BEING NNN0ALL. IF NNN0ALL DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE
HEADER, DO NOT SEND THE MESSAGE TO NNN0ALL OR NNN0ALS. NNN0ALS IS
THE COLLECTIVE CALL SIGN FOR 'ALL STATIONS THIS NET'.
3. NNN0AFL MESSAGES ARE ADDRESSED TO THE COLLECTIVE GROUP KNOWN
AS THE 'AFLOAT NETWORK'. ALL STATE DIRECTORS ARE INCLUDED AS INFO
ADDEES. IF YOU RECEIVE A MESSAGE ADDRESSED TO NNN0AFL, ASSURE
THAT IT IS SENT TO ALL AFLOAT MEMBERS IN YOUR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY
(AOR) AS WELL AS YOUR STATE DIRECTOR.
4. NNN0ALC MESSAGES ARE DIRECTED TO ALL STATE DIRECTORS. A MESSAGE
CONTAINING THE CALL SIGN NNN0ALC IN THE HEADER SHOULD BE SENT TO
YOUR STATE DIRECTOR.
5. NNN0ALR MESSAGES ARE DIRECTED TO THE REGION DIRECTORS. YOUR
REGION DIRECTOR MAY NOT LIVE IN YOUR STATE, IF THAT IS THE CASE
THEN YOU HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO PASS THE MESSAGE TO HIM, THAT
WOULD FALL TO THE TRAFFIC REP IN HIS STATE. EACH STATE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR STATION(S) LISTED IN THE HEADER THAT RESIDE IN THEIR
STATE ONLY.
6. NNN0ALD MESSAGES ARE DIRECTED TO THE AREA DIRECTORS AND OUR
AREA DIRECTOR RESIDES IN SCA SO THE SCA TRAFFIC REPS ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERING HIS TRAFFIC TO HIM.
7. THE ABOVE IS ONLY FOR TRAFFIC RECEIVED FROM SOME SOURCE OUTSIDE
YOUR STATE. IF SOME ONE IN YOUR STATE ORIGINATED THE MESSAGE, THEN
THINGS CHANGE AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FORWARDING THE MESSAGE
TO THE ABOVE ADDEES. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE DIFFERENT, ALSO ON
AREA AND REGION NETS. YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH
COLLECTIVE CALL SIGNS. ASK A MORE SENIOR/K KNOWLEDGEABLE MEMBER FOR
ADVICE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
8. PACIFIC AREA, PROUDLY SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE.
