Subject: About ARRL Info Server
Greetings from ARRL Headquarters! The services that the ARRL provides via
the internet include the Technical Information Service and the Automated
Information Server.
The Automated Information Server provides information about Amateur Radio
ranging from Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) about the hobby to info
on the current developing technology used in the hobby. To find out more
about this service, send an e-mail message to info@arrl.org with the subject
line "Request" and the following text in the body of the message:
help (for a brief set of instructions)
index (for a list of available topics)
send PROSPECT.TXT (or prospect.txt; for info on Ham Radio)
quit
NOTE!: Your message will not be read by a person - this is a software-
driven service that needs to be sent messages of the proper format.
NOTE!: DO *NOT* REPLY TO MESSAGES RECEIVED FROM INFO! - The reply
address is redirected to info-serv@arrl.org to prevent errors
from causing message "loops". Write a new message to
info@arrl.org instead.
In the above message example, "help" retrieves a brief set of instructions
for info, "index" retrieves a list of available topics and "prospect.txt"
retrieves a text file containing information on becoming a radio amateur.
If you want to retrieve several text files with one message, use a separate
line for each "send filename" request.
The Technical Information Service gives internet users access to the
knowledgeable technical staff here at ARRL HQ. Questions relating to
Amateur Radio and related technical topics are welcome. To use this
service, send a normal e-mail message to tis@arrl.org with your question
spelled out in plain english. For best service, be as specific as possible
and keep your line length in messages to a maximum of 80 characters.
Incoming messages will either be answered by me or redirected to the
appropriate ARRL staff member for a reply. If you have any questions
about these services, please let me know.
Thank you for contacting the ARRL Technical Information Services (TIS).
Best Regards, Michael Tracy, KC1SX
ARRL TIS Coordinator
