The Vericode Project is a weekly based ‘scavenger hunt’, of sorts, where participants hunt down the Vericode and the Supplemental Vericode from the AmRRON nets. When combined, they make the password to unlock a weekly entry of the fictional Partisan Operator Journals.


 

Here’s a brief rundown of how folks who are interested can participate in the Veri-Code
Project, and an overview of the process.

If you haven’t done so already, familiarize yourself with the article linked below,
titled ‘AIB Veri-Code: Layered Training with Rewards’.  Don’t skip it.

AIB ‘Veri-Code’: Layered Training with Rewards

The Process:

  1. Beginning February 2023 we plan to resume posting a new Journal entry each week.
  2. A Partisan Operator Journal entry will be posted each Monday at approximately Noon (Pacific)
    on the Partisan Operator Journal page.  But you won’t be able to read it without
    the Vericode (included in each Tuesday’s AIB); and the Supplemental VeriCode (available ONLY during
    scheduled AmRRON Nets, and by relay from other stations for one hour after the close of a net).
  3. NCSs are responsible for seeking out and acquiring the Supplemental VeriCode as
    part of their preparation for their upcoming scheduled net(s).
  4. During regularly-scheduled practice nets, NCSs are responsible for disseminating the Net Word of the Week, the weekly AIB, and the AIB Supplemental VeriCode during each of their nets.
    This is official AmRRON traffic.

Q & A:

  1.  Q:  What if Net Control doesn’t put out the NWOTW, weekly AIB, or Supplemental VeriCode?
    A:  Then simply request it from them
  2. Q:  What if NCS doesn’t have the NWOTW, the AIB, or Supplemental VeriCode?
    A: Then NCS should query the net to determine if one of the operators in his net acquired
    the traffic from a previous net.  Those stations can send the traffic to NCS for
    distribution to the net.
  3. Q:  What if I’m not available during scheduled net times?
    A:  Leave your station and fldigi (and flamp) programs open and running while you’re away.
    This is a common practice and it’s rewarding and exciting to come back into the shack to find
    traffic your station received while you were away.
  4. Q:  What if I do all that and still don’t get the AIB or Supplemental VeriCode?
    A:  That’s the nature of radio and happens even in real-world emergency communications.
    Keep trying to check in to other scheduled AmRRON nets throughout the week.  If you miss one,
    there will be a new Journal entry on the next go around.
