After all of these detailed instructions, where does this lead ?
Ironically, this first scheduled event didn’t yield an acknowledgement at ARS NV6W, which suggests that something was awry at the ARCPACIFIC
server. An otherwise reasonable inquiry sent to the system administrator did not yield a response. There was no QSL, via bureau or otherwise.
No matter. I went ahead with the second event that was scheduled during the following week, and behold — an actual response or “ACK” from the ARCPACIFIC server —
