Greetings:

The WinLink training will start on September 23 at 8:00 PM CT. You will need to be prepared prior to the start of training.

To be prepared you will need the following setup

o A computer with WinLink installed (no radio required) and dual monitors. One monitor for the A/V conference and the second for your WinLink session.
OR
o A computer with WinLink Installed (no radio required) and either a second computer/laptop or tablet. The first computer will run WinLink while the second computer/laptop/tablet will be used for the A/V conference.

o Internet access on both devices.

The WinLink training will take 3 to 4 one hour sessions.

I will send a Winlink message to everyone by 6:30 PM on the day of the training with the A/V conference link.

WINLINK EXCERCISE

TO: ALL ARES MEMBERS
FROM: GUS (WG5GK)
SUBJECT: WINLINK EXCERCISE NET

Greetings:

Myself and Yvette have been testing a net that begins to use the intermediate and advance features of WinLink.

A storyline is being developed which starts off with you and two others being assigned to a shelter or staging area. There is a line of people in front of you waiting to send messages outside the affected area.

How can this be accomplished? (Hint: We will use P2P and Winlink to start the exercise)

This will be a weekly exercise with a new DNCS (Digital Net Control Station) every week.

This net is open to all ARES members of Harrison, Jackson, Stone, Pearl River, and George counties.

To attend send a Winlink message to WG5GK or WG5GK@Winlink.org. Don’t forget the //WL2K in subject line.
