By the way,
you
have
full control of
your
PK-96
while
your
MailDrop is
on. You can connect to, and
chat
with,
other stations while
someone
is using
your
MailDrop,
provided
the user has
connected to the
call
yor"r
entered in MYMAIL.
It's
a
good
idea
to enter a
CTEXT message that
says that if
you
don'[
answer the user should reconnect
to
your
MailDrop
through
your
MYMAIL
call
sign. An example would
be:
cmd: CTEXT Hi! Ih
not available right
now, so
please
reconnect
to WFTA-| to leave a
message in
my MailDrop.
'73...Rich.
CText was
CText now Hi!

right now,
so
please
reconnect
to
wFTA-1
to leave
a message
in my uailorop.
'73..,nich.
