to test to allow users and sysops to ensure their equipment is functioning.

 

All Stations with WinLink capability should participate with cc message to
me (n3qhc at verizon.net) so I can include it my monthly EC Report.

Hi all,

Starting June 14th, 2011, we will hold a monthly Winlink "net". It will be a
monthly test that allows users and sysops to ensure their equipment is
working.   The test will be held on the second Tuesday of each month to
coincide with COMMEX since most EOC's are manned during COMMEX and folks
won't need to make a special trip to the EOC for another test.

 

The first Section-Wide Winlink  test will be on June 14th. 

 

Winlink operators will have a 24 hours to send me (n7nms at ...

RF ONLY.   Telnet and web connections do nothing to test the system. Please
do not use telnet/web unless you are reporting a problem with a gateway
station you cannot access.

 

Please include the following info:

 

Call

Name

Type of station: Private, EOC,or other types

County and City

Winlink gateway and any digis or nodes used to access the system

Any issues or problems you had connecting to the system  

 

EOC's and stations with RMS Relay capability are requested to simulate an
Internet feature and forward some traffic via Pactor III to test their HF
equipment as well

Stations With HF and soundcard capability are also encouraged to use Winmor
to connect to the System.

 

ALL operators are encouraged to participate in the test, so everyone dust
off those TNC's and HF rigs, get involved and have fun!
