Instructions on how to Originate a Service Message

Messages encountered anywhere in the NTS system that can not be relayed or delivered are NOT discarded. A Service Message back to the originating station must be generated. There are only three things that an operator can do with a message:

1. Relay it

2. Deliver it

3. Service it back to the Station of Origination, Not the Place of origin.

Generating service messages is the responsibility of the station holding the message.

Please keep messages for your records for at least one year. You do not need to advise Net Control what you did with the message. This information is for your records only. Once you accept a message, its yours to do one of the three above.

The following is a typical Service Message FROM HXC, CANNOT DELIVER:
