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).
