[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Winlink Wednesday - 2 meter alternate NCS in Alexandria

[Kenneth R. van Wyk]

Alexandria Radio Club,

FYI, I’ll again be running my 2 meter VHF alternate NCS for this week’s “Winlink Wednesday” net. (And no, I won’t be sending out a reminder every single week here.)

By about 7 AM tomorrow, I’ll fire up my VHF Winlink system in peer to peer mode. (I do NOT run an RMS gateway.) Anyone who’d like to check in to Winlink Wednesday can do so on VHF by using VARA FM in peer to peer mode and pointing it to my ID (K0RVW) and frequency, 145.085 MHz.

This enables anyone with a Technician (or higher) license to check-in to Winlink Wednesday quickly and easily, and get some practice in using peer to peer mode. (Be sure to designate your check-in email to be a peer to peer message before you post it to your outbox!)

Drop me an email if you need assistance and I’ll be happy to help.

73 de K0RvW
Ken
