John, 

   I have little idea what this all means, but it suggests to me we are not ready to be an EOC!! (To say the least.)

Please read the email below from Mike Liller/N7NMS, ARRL M-DC Section Assistant SEC.  He wrote this about the WinLink Net last year and continues 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 14 th . 

  

Winlink operators will have a 24 hours to send me ( n7nms at ... ) an email  VIA 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!
