Merry Christmas from CCARC

The Coleto Creek Amateur Radio

Club would like to say

ARL FIFTY and ARL SIXTY

ONE 73 W5DWT

For you non hams or newer hams the translation is "The Coleto Creek Amateur Radio Club would like to say Greetings by Amateur Radio and Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Best Regards from W5DWT" (Don't feel bad if you did not understand the first paragraph, I had to look it up myself).

For educational purposes, codes similar to these are used by ham radio operators during general nets, health and welfare nets as well as emergency nets to limit the air time used so that more traffic can be passed.
