[ACARS] Comment

[Robert C C Hall]

WUN ACARS Group seems to me as a newcomer to be composed of three separate
groups...

1. Those involved with the  internet and internationsl data

2. Those who regularly produce logs for the UK and Europe

3, Localised listeners like myself, quite unprofessional and able to connect
to only one station

This outline was unkown to me when I joined up and spent lotsa bucks and
time  trying to understand the wonderful new world of ACARS, and many thanks
to the kind folk who told me about ACARSD, JACARS et al. The essential
questions to my mind is are you interested in International, National or
localised trnsmissions? I have only the last to offer, which seems pretty
small in the overall scenario, and I wonder if anyone is interested at all
in the occasional flash from Capetown??

Meanwhile I am happy to play around with my local traffic having at long
last at least partially mastered the appalling illiterate and misguided Help
sections offered by Airnav, and via their Email......

Am putting this forward so that others interested in ACARS may have their
introduction shortened by a few months. Perhaps the online screens might
take notice!
