Ask stations in your subnet if they have formal traffic ready to transmit. (Such traffic should be on NET Form 8.) If so, ask them to provide counts of available messages not previously forwarded by the four precedence levels. Take Emergency messages from all your stations before moving on to take Priority messages. Likewise, take Priority messages before Health & Welfare and take any Routine messages last and only if you have time. | Ask stations in your subnet if they have formal traffic ready to transmit.
