YOU MUST 'UPDATE YOUR INFO' AND SIGN IN TO BE SEEN ON THE BOARD

Directly below these black heading boxes and just below the site name is a place to "update your info"...this is very simple..just click there and put in your callsign, first name, your state, and your grid location (email address or URL Homepage link optional). YOU MUST FILL THIS INFORMATION OUT TO BE LISTED ON THE BOARD. Once you fill this out you will not have to do it again unless you want to change the information for some reason...so anytime you go to this site you are ready to go and your computer knows to sign you on under the information you last put in.

Once you are on the board you can update your status, mode and frequency at anytime to let others know what you are doing so they might work you. For example if I were going to LOG IN and want others to know I am trying PSK31 on 144.150 then I would do just that and click the pull down arrow on the status and choose 'CQ', then click the pull down arrow on the mode and choose 'PSK', and last post my frequency of 144.150 in the freq box....then hit the grey 'UPDATE' box just below the status area. Now everyone on the board knows where I am and what I am trying....I also might add a note in the blank box just below the status box 'west'..or beaming west.

The Message box in the middle of the screen is for communicating with others on the board if no radio contact is possible or for setting up to try a contact with someone you see on the board. You have to just write your message in the blank area then hit 'Post'...then your message will post to the group board. You also can again hit 'refresh' to make the message communiction faster because the site only updates by itself once every minute (AGAIN EVERY 60 SECONDS THIS SITE UPDATES FOR CURRENT INFO AND MESSAGES POSTED).

If you click on a person callsign on the board it not only again give you the station informatio it will also give you bearing direction and distance to that station.

One more feature on the site...you can click the little arrow (old messages) or star (new messages) next to a message to get information about the message (such as the time it was posted).
