## BBS Usage
To interact with the BBS, send a message to the callsign of the BBS (whatever has been put into the MYCALL part of the config)
If the message that's sent isn't a command, the BBS will respond with a welcome message and list of the below commands:
**(L)IST**
Sending a message with L will respond with a list of current bulletins
**(M)SG**
Sending a message with M will respond with a list of messages that were sent to the callsign of the user requesting the list of messages.
**(P)OST**
This command posts a bulletin and needs to be sent in the following format:
```P <text>```
Example: ```P Checkpoint 3 operational. Volunteers needed.```
**(S)END**
This command leaves a message for a specific user via their callsign and needs to be sent in the following format:
```S <callsign> <text>```
Example: ```S N0CALL-1 Meet at the Trailhead at 15:00```
