 +====== Reference ======
 +===== Precedences =====
 +From: https://www.arrl.org/chapter-six-arrl-precedences-and-handling-instructions
 +==== 1E: Emergency ====
 +Any message having **life and death urgency** to any person or group of persons.  This includes official messages of welfare agencies during emergencies requesting supplies, materials or instructions vital to relief to stricken populace in emergency areas. During normal times, it will be very rare. When in doubt, do not use this designation.
 +
 +==== 2P: Priority ====
 +This classification is for important messages having a specific time limit, official messages not covered in the emergency category, press dispatches and emergency-related traffic not of the utmost urgency.
 +
 +==== 3W: Welfare ====
 +This classification refers to either an inquiry as to the health and welfare of an individual in the disaster area or an advisory from the disaster area that indicates all is well. Welfare traffic is handled only after all emergency and priority traffic is cleared.
 +
 +==== 4R: Routine ====
 +Most traffic in normal times will bear this designation. In disaster situations, traffic labeled Routine should be handled last, or not at all when circuits are busy with higher-precedence traffic.
