Hello to the list, here is my question: I am stting up an Amateur 
Radio station at our local EOC. Do we need WINLINK on HF? If so 
why? Then, what TNC to use, cheap is good as we are a small town 
with a small budget. Do not need anything top of the line, just some 
thing that will work. Thank you.

Hello Rod,

There are many different ways to get involved on Winlink.  What exactly are 
you trying to do?  Send messages with other towns and states?  Or send 
messages between other hams in the area?  If you are doing that, you can set 
up a basic PMBO with a Telpac node and you will be able to send and recieve 
messages across a VHF range.

If you are trying to communicate to other places from the EOC, you could set 
up an HF station there with Airmail 2000 (www.airmail2000.com) and a TNC.  I 
have a Kam+ here and it works great on HF, VHF and UHF.

Hope this helps,

Hi Rod,

It looks to me like Justin has said exactly what I would have said to you.

Good luck getting started.  You'll be glad you did!

73,

Carter
