SUBJ: REPORTING OF DIGITAL COMM MODES ON PARTREP

1. EFFECTIVE THIS BROADCAST, IN THE STATE OF IDAHO AND 
THE STATE OF OREGON, I REQUEST ALL STATIONS LOG SUCH
TIME THEY DEVOTE TO SETUP, TEST AND OPERATION OF THE
VARIOUS DIGITAL MODES AUTHORIZED OR ALLOWED FOR TEST
IN MARS UNDER ITEM F SUBITEM I OF THEIR MONTHLY MARS
PARTICIPATION REPORT. 
2. IN A SEPARATE EMAIL TO THIS STATION, DETAILS OF MODE,
FREQUENCY AND CONTACTS IF ANY MAY BE SENT. THIS WILL
ALLOW FURTHER ASSISTANCE, RECOGNITION OF EFFORT, AND
SUPPORT FOR THESE MODES WITHIN THE OR/ID MEMBERSHIP.
3. SIMILARLY, I ENCOURAGE ALL STATIONS WHO ACT AS NCS
FOR NETS TO SEND A WEEKLY REPORT TO THIS STATION TO
ADVISE OF CALLSIGN OF STATIONS CHECKING INTO THESE
NETS, SIGNAL , COPY QUALITY, AND FREQUENCY, AND 
PERTINENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM OR OPERATING 
INFORMATION DISCUSSED. 
4. THIS CAN DRAMATICALLY HELP US TO IMPROVE TRAINING
AND ASSISTANCE TO MEMBERS, AS WELL AS SERVE AS A 
BACK-UP FOR STATIONS WHO FORGET TO KEEP TRACK OF
THEIR ON-AIR ACTIVITY. 
5. THIS MAY ALSO HELP STATIONS WHO FORGET TO SEND IN
A MONTHLY ACTIVITY REPORT, AS IT WILL REMIND ME TO
ASK THEM PRIOR TO THE 9TH OF THE MONTH IF THEY HAVE 
FILED THEIR PARTICIPATION REPORT (WHEN I DON'T GET A
COPY OF IT BEFOREHAND). I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OREGON
CATCH UP ON REPORTING PARTICIPATION TO THE 90-100 %
RANGE. IDAHO HAS ALREADY MET THIS REQUIREMENT ON
SEVERAL OCCASSIONS. 
6. COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED, AS THIS IS MERELY REQUEST
AT THIS TIME, NOT REQUIRED.
