[arrl-odv:34403] Radiogram greetings

Hi everyone, Just for fun, I arranged for NTS radiograms conveying holiday greetings to be sent to all directors and vice directors using the contact information listed in QST. The radiograms went sometime on Wednesday, December 23 with HXG handling instructions. I'd be curious to know how many of you received them. I realize that this is not a controlled experiment. ;-) 73, and happy holidays, Phil Temples, K9HI -- Phil Temples <phil@temples.com>

Got mine yesterday. Thanks Phil and happy holidays to all. On Sat, Dec 24, 2022, 2:40 PM Phil Temples <phil@temples.com> wrote:

A few of you have asked about the results of my bulk radiogram greeting message. FYI, the book traffic was introduced into NTS via KW1U's multiband scanning Pactor MBO on HF.

I am apparently still on the naughty list, as mine never arrived. A bit of humor: The first time I was ever sent a Radiogram was when I first won my Director election in 2018. The then SM in Alaska sent me a congratulatory Radiogram in December 2018, and I actually received it sometime the following March. 73; Mike W7VO
