I’d like to get an international radiogram out to some family affected by weather, and don’t presently have the means to get on air and into a message net to do it. How can I do this? I’ve scoured the web and can’t seem to find any way to inject a message despite finding the Radio Relay website.
E: Cellular has been restored to the region. And I’ve managed to reach my family. Through all this, with your help and the help of the folks at Radio Relay Int’l, we’ve learned that there is no simple way to inject radiogram traffic internationally, nor does the US have a third-party traffic agreement with the destination country, which negates the system anyway.
Thank you for this suggestion. ARRL was my first stop, and then Radio Relay Int’l. As you mentioned, third-party traffic is the biggest limfac, which is exactly the second hurdle I bumped into.
For all our hurrahs for amateur radio use in emcomm, it seems to have fallen wildly short in the instance I needed to use it.
We have to find a better way, including the politics of it.
