[ARRL-OK] EmComm Digital Communications

[Mark Conklin]

Most of the West Gulf and Delta Divisions are already using Winlink 2000 as the method of digital communications throughout the region.
 
Oklahoma is behind the curve, and we we have a bit of catching up to do.
 
The first agenda item is for more folks in Oklahoma to become familiar with Winlink 2000.  

 
Below is information on a primer about WL2K (Winlink 2000) it's great place to start.

WL2K for the "Digitally Challenged"
by Bud Thompson, N0IA. 
This is not a book, but an on-line course of instruction for those serious about learning how to use the EmComm “last mile” portion of Winlink 2000, but who also may feel "digitally challenged." In this course, you first set up and experience WL2K e-mail over Amateur Radio without a data modem (TNC) or a radio. All that is required is a computer running any recent version of Microsoft Windows, Internet access, and a valid Amateur Radio license.
 
To take this short course, and have lessons delivered by regular email, you must join the Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LOADING_WL2K_USER_PROGRAMS/moderated by N0IA, ‘Bud’ Thompson. You download the lessons from the file area of the group, and Bud and the gurus answer any questions and help you address any problems. You will work through several assignments at your own pace, and then determine if you wish to get further involved with a TNC and compatible radio over the air!
