[arm-allstar] Playnews

Mon Nov 19 00:10:02 EST 2018

Chris,

 Rather than critique your lines here are mine-

The first one starts the ARRL download and cues it up at 2030 on Monday
then it actually plays at 21:01 to node 27225. If you leave the L or G off
it assumes G - global.

The second one does the same thing for ARN news on Sunday with the same
times.

You need to cue it up at least 15 minutes before playtime. I just did it a
half hour before to be safe. It give warning messages at 10 and 5 minutes
before to clear traffic.

You will see the files created cued in /tmp before they are played. They
are deleted as they are played.

Disregard the name of the file I am using in your case it would probably
just be playnews.
