[CALV-AUXCOMM] Winlink email

[Jim Tetlow]

Howdy everyone!  Hope this finds everyone well! 

An important note to remember, frequency of our digipeaters is 145.750! You may only use the digipeater with the same frequency as the node/gateway you wish to make a connection. 

I have tried previously to compile a list of active 2 meter and 70 cm simplex packet digis,  not aprs digipeaters. This has been almost impossible! 
 
What we need are more 145.750 or 145.650 digipeaters  set up in Southern Md that could make a bridge to close gateway stations. Those stations close to the bay might consider using nodes in the Salisbury and Cambridge areas? But I haven’t been able to find any active right now. Delaware is active, but too far for guys down south.

Since I am no expert, and I don’t always ask google the best question to get the most productive results, I am requesting help from all, so that we can come up with some station lists that will cover Calvert. There has to be stations in St Mary’s and Charles that can be useful. If you know some let me know and I will make a list that we can put on our website for access. 

Thanks, see you on the net tonight! Print out Shawn’s email of a few days ago to use as a help sheet..... excellent information there.

I part with one thought   PACKET WINLINK  ON 145.750 !😁
