AirMail NTSD

Airmail is easily used with the National Traffic System (NTSD) and is used by a number of stations each day on HF and on VHF/UHF. The program connects easily, sends and receives any messages, and then disconnects. Below is a way to automatically have Airmail display the appropriate NTSD MBO and DRS stations to contact.
