A local ham asked you to send an announcement of her first babies to family by radiogram. Your task is to properly format and submit a radiogram to the NTS (National Traffic System).

The available NTS staion that accepts traffic is WB0GAG.

The mother is Jane Doe, WF0MOM. She had twins, Andy and Sam. All are doing well.

She wants to send word to her Grandfather, Joe Doaks, KY0POP.

Follow with your:
call sign, first name, city or town, county, state, mode (Winlink HF, VARA FM, VHF packet, etc.)

Save a copy for later if you wish.
Review your message, then click Submit and set "Subject:" to "Iowa Winlink Weekend".

In the message composition window, make sure "Send As:" is set to Winlink Message.
Check "Request message receipt" if you wish a confirmation message.
Set "To:" to WB0GAG. Add any others you would like to receive the message.

When you are satisfied with the message, click "Post to Outbox".

Send as normal. If you have no radio capability yet, use telnet.
