- Note: Whereas the mnomic address "RACES" is used in the packet
- radio "TO" line, we point out that they are not written solely for
- and by RACES personnel. They are written for and by all manner of
- COMMUNICATIONS VOLUNTEERS IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE. This is the
- primary reason the State of California changed the name in 1990
- from the State RACES to the State Auxiliary Radio Service. The
- AUXRS includes all manner on hams, non-hams, CAP, commercial, state
- and federal government frequencies and resources. We urge all
- levels of government to take this broad approach to augment their
- regular communications. We had at one time proposed changing the
- mnomic from RACES to COVIGS, but PBBS sysops all over the country
- said, "Don't! Our software automatically routes and stores all RACES
- Bulletins and messages addressed to RACES. Please don't change.
- Far be it from us to thwart the unsung heroes of the Amateur Radio
- Service --- the packet radio sysops!
