An example text radiogram

Here is an example NTS radiogram that I received over the air today. I received it via voice, but I'm going to save it in a file.


14 R HXG KK3F ARL 10 FROSTBURG MD Jun 30

JOSEPH DURNAL NE3R
123 STREET ADDRESS

ARL FIFTY THREE 70 HAD
A GREAT FIELD DAY 73

PAT KK3F
/EX


The BT is a Morse code prosign for break and the /EX is what a digital text formatted message has to have at the end so that the system knows where it ends.

This message uses a format known as ARRL numbered radiograms. The FIFTY THREE stands for Received your _____. It's appreciated; many thanks. In this case, the 70 fills in the blank, which is the message number I used when sending Pat a message on ARRL Field Day.
