[CALV-AUXCOMM] Fwd: Winlink ICS Forms now available

Wed Nov 2 22:14:49 EDT 2016

Thanks Shawn, I will download the forms zip to the computer that will go to the radio room. So far I have the new (rms) winlink express program loaded latest version, I labeled as K3CAL in the program, but individuals may log into it using their own callsign and password. These ICS forms can be used  with this program.
I have also loaded, the new versions of fldigi and associated programs that work with windows. (I noticed they had an android based program...something to check out) along with that are the user manuals, and set up files in pdf format, of course I had to install Adobe reader to view these manuals etc.

There is the echo link program but not set up yet.

An old copy of HRD, not set for a radio yet.
I did also for kicks, load SDRuno and its driver since there are so many of those out there, one could bring their device in and run it on the pc.

I did not load the field day or contest programs as they might start to junk things up, but if needed I can bring them on a flash drive and load them....I gave that complete licensed suite to CARA years ago and the updates are forever. I still have the passwords and username.

If there is anything else you may like on it give me a call and I will get it on it before I bring it up. I am letting it run tonight as the clock was wrong, It had not been on for several months.

> At the November 14 ARES Meeting there will be a brief question and answer session about the use of the Winlink ICS Forms. These forms are as close as possible to the print-version ICS forms as used in the (USA) National Incident Management System (NIMS). 
> The most common ICS form used in NIMS is the General Message Form, ICS-213. Most lilely this will be the only form required by you in hospital environment. No guarantee, no promises. This will be the main focus in the January 2017 PRGE ARES Hospital Drill. The tentative plan at the moment is to exchange simple 213s among hospitals in and out of the region. Wanda, KA3AHI, is working on other hospital Winlink radio operators across the Section to join us in the Drill. 
> Below are two Winlink forms web sites. The first one is a general description and the second one is the zip file of all currently constructed Winlink ICS forms. Check this second site often for updates.
