ALL,

LAST REMINDER: April 15 is still the drop dead date for all Winlink users to have a password with secure login. If you have not completed this task, and wish to continue to use Winlink, please get this done as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Your Winlink development team

ATTENTION:

On April 15, 2016, the Winlink system will begin requiring the use of passwords and secure login for ALL users. This is being done to enhance the privacy and protection of the Winlink community. If you've already entered both a password and also turned on Secure Login, you don't have to make any other changes. The transition taking place on April 15, 2016, won't change your operation. If you have not set a password for your account, and also have not enabled Secure Login, we recommend you do it now so you won't be surprised on April 15, 2016.

FOR RMS EXPRESS, setting a password and Secure login are very easy to do:

1. Connect your computer to the Internet.

2. Run RMS Express.

3. Click the menu item ?Files" then "RMS Express Setup"

4. Enter your password in the field next to your callsign, and insure that the "Require password on connections (Enable Secure Login)? is checked.

4. Enter a password recovery e-mail in the appropriate field. This must be a non-Winlink address.

5. Click "Update".

6. RMS Express will set your password on the Winlink system and enable secure login.

NOTE: If you're using a different Winlink e-mail client program such as Paclink or Airmail, you must follow these steps:

1. Go to www.winlink.org, and select the MY ACCOUNT tab.

2. If you haven't previously selected a password, select one now. Otherwise log in.

3. Navigate to the screen that lists your account information, and click EDIT.

4. Scroll down and enter your password-recovery e-mail.

5. Check the box to enable Secure Login.

6. Click SAVE at the bottom of the screen.

7. Next, find the place in your Winlink client program where you can enter your password, and set it for the client.

8: NOTE: FOR AIRMAIL: If you have gone to menu item, TOOLS>OPTIONS>SETTINGS,  put in your password, and saved it, you will be okay. If you have no password for Winlink, follow the instructions above.

Your Winlink Development Team

I'm going to be away from the area tonight and need someone to cover the

ARLB014 Radio Amateurs Asked to Keep 7.060 MHz Clear for Ecuador
Earthquake Emergency Traffic

In the wake of the April 16 earthquake in Ecuador, the Amateur Radio
community is being asked to keep 7.060 MHz clear for "Cadena HC"
emergency traffic. DXpeditions operating RTTY on 40 meters are
requested to keep pileups below 7.060 MHz. The 7.8 magnitude
earthquake has resulted in dozens of deaths and many more injuries.

Most earthquake damage has occurred in the Guayaquil (HC2) and
Portoviejo/Manta (HC4) areas of Ecuador. Well-known DXer Lilian de
Ayala, HC4L, in Portoviejo - the capital of Manabi province - is
safe, but some structures in Portoviejo and Manta suffered severe
damage, with many victims reported to have been buried in the rubble
of collapsed buildings and homes. Electrical power and commercial
telecommunication systems have been either destroyed or knocked out
in the affected area, and hams in the HC4 district have been
operating by using mobile stations or battery power. Many roads have
been rendered impassable because of earthquake rubble.

The Cadena HC emergency frequency is now active and running 24 hours
per day on 7.060 LSB. Hams in Ecuador have been reported very busy
coordinating search-and-rescue activities.

Follows is a message from Dan Henderson, ARRL Regulatory Information
Manager:

Everyone, we would like to pass this information along from Dan
Henderson, N1ND our rules and regulations man regarding an exercise
scheduled for April 21, 2016


On Thursday, April 21 (1200-1900 UTC), US Department of Homeland
Security SHARES <https://www.dhs.gov/shares> (SHared RESources High
Frequency Radio Program) stations will demonstrate interoperability with
other SHARES stations, other federal government stations, and Amateur
Radio stations involved in emergency communication ? including tests and
exercises ? on the five 60 meter channels where the Amateur Service is
secondary. This is being included in an exercise being conducted in
Pennsylvania. The primary period for interoperability demonstration will
be between 1600 and 1630 UTC. The suppressed-carrier reference
frequencies (dial frequencies) for USB communication are 5330.5, 5346.5,
5357.0, 5371.5, and 5403.5 kHz.
We want to be certain that the Amateur Auxiliary is aware of this
exercise and to confirm that these communications are permitted under
97.111.  OOs may hear an Amateur station participating in the exercise
communicating with a non-Amateur station. Please be advised that the
necessary approvals for those communications have been received and
communications between Amateur and approved Federal services stations on
the 60-meter band as part of the exercise should not be considered a
violation of the rules.
We are aware of additional exercises down the road where this type of
interoperability communications between amateurs and Federal government
stations on the 60-meter band will occur. As an Official Observer,
please check with ARRL HQ if you suspect a problem on the 60-meter band
of Amateurs communicating with non-Amateur stations.  Of course, the
regular activities as an OO relevant to that band are ?in play? and
other problems should be addressed at your discretion as warranted.
            Thanks for your efforts in serving the Amateur Community as
a member of the Amateur Auxiliary.  You make a difference!

73,

I met with Christine Macey, Emergency Management at Calvert Memorial
Hospital, this morning to go over plans for adding amateur radio to
the communications resources at the hospital.  We still have some work
to do before we're officially in the door but I'm happy to announce
that they will be our next customer.

I hope to know more about this relationship in time for the May
meeting so plan on being there to find out the latest.
