It is easy to add or remove yourself
from the PANGOLIN email list server. Several
different services are available, including the Pacific Seafarer's Net
Rollcall list servings. When you join to receive the Pacific
Seafarer's Net Rollcall list servings, "PACSEANET" is the posting you
want. The others can be gotten daily using the same procedure as
for "PACSEANET". So, in the body of your email to
yotreps@pangolin.co.nz, you type JOIN PACSEANET, but don't put anything
on the subject line of the email. That's all there is to
it. To remove yourself from the list, type LEAVE PACSEANET in the
body, again with nothing in the subject line of the email.
Net controllers interested in sailing vessel movements throughout the
world may want to get the "Summaries" posting once every day. I
find it quite interesting as it includes all email YOTREPS
self-reporters ham and non hams, and also includes the Pacific
Seafarer's Net Rollcall boats as we report them. I've seen as
many as 65 boats on this YOTREPS posting, and plugging it into the free
REPORTER program and viewing their locations on the chart feature is
quite nice. I like having a passive awareness of the non ham
movements because it helps when someone comes up missing out there or
in emergencies.
You can follow the simple procedure on this page, or you can visit the
help
file on Pangolin website.

JOINING THE LIST (Copied from Pangolin's Help
