Encourage new VARAC users to try V-mail & operate 24/7
Hams:
Consider encouraging new users to try Vmail. When I QSO with a new VARAC user, I ask them if they have tried Vmail. Most say they have not. I then briefly explain it and then send one to them either from my station or from another station. This usually gets their interest peaked.
Also I explain that if we leave our rigs running when we are not in the shack, that this is building a robust network. It can be a relaible network especially for ECOM.
I am encouraged by the new hams that are trying out VARAC. Be sure to engge with them incourage them.

The problem is that many stations don't beacon. So you will never hear them in order to send them a vmail waiting message! We should encourage all users to beacon.
