[CALV-ARES] From ARRL CALV EC: Monthly Section-Wide WinKink monthly "WinLink Net" test

Tue Mar 27 15:31:02 EDT 2012

I see what we can do.  
There are some other issues that should be addressed first so people do not get confused.  Such as, ARES - RACES differences, M-DC Emergency Response Plan and so forth.
I rather put material out in some logical order so that we don't get the cart before the horse. If not, people will be on different pages doing different things. You know what I am trying to say I hope.
We will get there. I agree we are behind a little but this stuff is quick to learn.
73, Dennis

For about $125.00 including  cables with Signal Link TNC that anyone of us will be on WL2K without spending $1400.00 for that expensive modem. RMS software does same exact functions but at 90% the speed. For a $1300-1500 total savings, most of will be real happy operating at 90% speed.

>>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.
