Featured Topic: "Winlink Boot Camp- Getting Started" by Ken R. van Wyk,
K0RVW, in person

Ham Workshop Topic: Join the Winlink "Hand-on" Experience

 

Ken's presentation will cover the basics of Winlink and how to get started,
how to use Winlink with your radio,  VARA/FM and VARA/HF with Winlink, and
all about Winlink Wednesday.   Winlink provides a way to send and receive
email messages over radio frequencies and is particularly useful in
emergency and disaster scenarios where traditional communication
infrastructure, such as phone lines or internet access, may be disrupted or
overloaded.  It is designed for use by licensed amateur radio operators and
authorized government and emergency communications organizations. 

 

During the Ham workshop session, club members will have an opportunity to
have "hands-on" experience with Winlink.  Those interested in joining in the
hands-on session should bring their laptops, notebooks, or smartphones to
the workshop session. However, to in order to send/receive emails during the
workshop sessions, club members must have an activated Winlink account.

 

The activation process can be completed within a few hours or even minutes
if the necessary information is provided accurately and promptly. However,
the actual duration may vary and can take longer, especially during periods
of high demand or if additional verification steps are required. Please see
the attachment on how to register for a Winlink account.
