MAIL is a tool for automated creation of reception reports. Do not confuse this with FILEMAIL, which is intended for sending files between JAGUAR computers.
MAIL can be invoked from STATION MENU after you have selected the desired station (see the STATION MENU help).
Click the MAIL button to display a popup menu from which you can select the language of the reception report. The following languages are listed: English / French / Spanish / Portuguese / Russian / German. If JAGUAR cannot find a pre-formatted reception report template, the error message
((( TEMPLATE MISSING )))
will be displayed. If you want to use MAIL, please create your template(s) first as follows:
Create a folder called MAIL in JAGUAR's installation directory.
If you only work with English-language reception reports, create a file called MAIL.RTF (e.g. in Word or WordPad) with the following type of content and save it in the newly-made MAIL folder.
Below you will find one example reception report template. Be sure to create a report template that is uniquely yours. Note the use of variables of #CALL, #NAME, #DATE, #FREQ and #TIME.
TO: #CALL
Dear Sirs:
I have the pleasure to inform you that I have been listening to your station #NAME on
#DATE on the frequency of #FREQ kHz at #TIME UTC. The overall reception quality was very
good/good/moderate/fair/poor. Below are the details of the program. The same details can
also be found in the attached audio clip.
If you find this report correct, I would be pleased to receive a verification email,
letter or card. My contact information is as follows.
Best wishes,
Danny DXer
Now, when you select English from the popup menu, JAGUAR will create the reception report in the MAIL folder. For example, if you have selected STATION MENU for TWR Parakou and click MAIL > English, you will get the following report for further modification:
TO: TWR
Dear Sirs:
I have the pleasure to inform you that I have been listening to your station TWR,
Parakou on 2020-01-29 on the frequency of 1566 kHz at 18'13'42 UTC. The overall
reception quality was very good/good/moderate/fair/poor. Below are the details of the
program. The same details can also be found in the attached audio clip.
If you find this report correct, I would be pleased to receive a verification email,
letter or card. My contact information is as follows.
Best wishes,

If you write reports in any major languages of the world, rename MAIL.RTF (in the MAIL folder) to MAIL-EN.RTF. Then you can create reception report templates for the following languages:
