Important Advice

IMPORTANT ADVICE

Important advice on the reliability of our system can be found below. Anyone telephoning messages to VKS-737 subscribers should read that advice!

We cannot guarantee acceptance or delivery of messages within our systems !

It is possible that technical failure in any of our systems may prevent your message being relayed to the indicated VKS-737 subscriber. Adverse HF conditions may also prevent effective contact with the indicated subscriber.

If you have other potential methods of communicating with the indicated subscriber, we suggest those methods be employed in addition to this facility.

We do not accept messages that we judge to be potentially offensive or that may in any way contravene federal communications law.

If messages are unnecessarily long, and/or contain frivolous and/or trivial content our volunteer staff will most likely reduce the content. Please include the essentials only!

If you are able to phone our VKS-737 subscriber direct, please do that instead of using this facility. If you make contact with the subscriber by other means, it is important that you contact the Subscriber Message Service as soon as possible to cancel the message request.

If your message is not retrieved by the indicated subscriber within 5 days, it will be deleted (although urgent messages may be retained on the list, at our discretion).

The forwarding of messages is a public ‘event’ on the HF airwaves so there is no level of confidentiality. Consider the content of your message.

Messages nominated as URGENT will find us applying all available resources to make contact with the VKS-737 subscriber, but we cannot indicate any particular level of success.
