Follow the steps to fill out the Radiogram Form online.

1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the editor.
2. Fill out the 'preamble'. Include a sequential 'number', set 'precedence' to R, ignore 'HX', enter the 'station of origin' with the call sign of the first person who sent the message, or your club call sign. The 'check' is the number of groups in the text. 'Place of origin' should be your Field Day site, such as PASADENA CA, and 'time filed' and 'date filed' must be in UTC format.
3. Complete the 'address section' ('To:'). Provide sufficient information for delivery. For example: 'To: DAVID GREENHUT N6HD LAX SM 21781 VENTURA BLVD NR 243 WOODLAND HILLS CA 91364 818 992 5507'. Ensure you include all necessary information for your message, noting that punctuation is typically omitted.
4. Fill out the text section. Write any message that is 25 words or less, ensuring it complies with legal requirements. For your ten-pointers, structure the message like this: 'GREETINGS FROM THE FIELD DAY SITE OF W6KA PASADENA RADIO CLUB X 73'. Count each word or call sign as one group for your 'check'.
5. Add a signature line. Write your name, call sign, and title, such as: 'TOM BERNE W6TAG PRESIDENT PASADENA RADIO CLUB', underneath your message.
6. Prepare to transmit. Ensure you follow the proper format for sending your message over voice or CW, using the correct protocol for identification and structure.
7. Determine the recipient. Choose between checking into a traffic net or finding a traffic handler to send your message for you. Refer to local guides for traffic net schedules.
8. If checking into a net, familiarize yourself with NTS protocols. Wait for the NCS to request check-ins, provide your call sign, name, location, and mention you have a message.
9. Write the message receiver's call sign in the 'SENT' box at the bottom of the form, along with the date and time.
10. Submit the form to your Field Day Logging Captain. They will need it to claim traffic points.
