The Game is very simple - "TAKE THE MESSAGE"
Each free station will be on air at different moments and each one will be on air on his own QRG, transmitting a single part of a complete message in Italian and English, that is ever the same. Your challenge is recreating the complete message ! All parts of the message start with a particular advising sound for all free stations. The single part of the message will be transmitted following this schedule:
