All,


Jim, K3UGA, suggested a great idea.    Start a monthly Winlink message round-robin.   I would initiate a message and send to someone, they in turn would add a comment or two and send it to someone else.  Eventually the last person would return the message to me. 


The sequence would follow a pre-defined list of participants.   


This would be a Winlink Gateway activity, not peer-to-peer.  Fetch your message off a gateway and pass it on via a gateway.  You can use VHF or UHF packet, or WINMOR on HF, or as a last resort (if a gateway cannot be reached) the telnet option.  Not intended to be a race to get the message through as fast as possible....just access a gateway when you can and look for traffic.  I'm thinking a few days to a week for the message to make the loop, depending upon the number of participants.


Please let me know if you'd like to participate.  I'll put together a list and kick off the activity (and notify everyone by email).


Please RSVP by March 8th.

Dave,

Sure, that would be fine.  Good location and test to make sure it is working and whom we can reach.  The call sign at the Drum Point Radio Club is KB3TGF.

Guys remember this is a winlink/ winmor exercise. Thus participants will have to have a winlink email address to be able to get  a message sent from another, plus need an email address to send the message to the next person. This may take a day to a week to complete the loop. So if you want a message to go to kb3tgf@ winlink.org, someone would have to sign in the winlink program with that callsign and the correct password. I know Peter was using that for a time because he lost his password for KB3SXB. Peter did you find your password? If not, in order to play you will have to give SHAWN kb3tgf as your callsign to play!
If Adrienne and Dennis have registered with winlink they have to sign in through a program on a computer to get their messages.

Jim, thank you yes you are right we have to have a signature sign in for TGIF. I am going to be away for the day. However, Dave and I can you use our particular signature sign in that are particular to our own call signs if we can't get TGIF to have a signature. I will know more on Thursday.

All,


I've started the Winlink round-robin practice exercise by sending a message to the first callsign on the list below.  


When you pick up your message from a Winlink gateway, add a few comments and forward it on to the next callsign on the list.  Please add N3AE to the Cc line so I can track progress.


You can access a Winlink gateway by either VHF/UHF packet or on HF using a WINMOR session in RMS Express.  TELNET acceptable as a last resort.  


KB3FWW-10 on 145.070 MHz is a local gateway that many might be able to hit direct.  Or use our K3CAL-1 digipeater on 145.750 MHz to reach one of the gateways on that frequency.  The K3CAL-10 digipeater is currently down.


This is not a race to see how quickly the loop can be completed.  Just access a gateway when you have time and if you get your message, forward it on.  AB3LE is near the bottom of the list since Charlie is still getting some gear together to support the exercise.


If you're having difficulties and need help, email or call me.  Please also read the note at the bottom of this email on an annoying RMS Express behavior.   On-line help for Winlink available at:

------------------------------------------------


ONE HELPFUL NOTE ON an annoying behavior in RMS Express:  


Winlink Express has a Contacts list (i.e. address book).  You can find it by clicking on Settings and then Contacts.    If you already had an entry in the Name column of the Contacts list of say N3AE for example, with my Comcast email address in the Contacts list E-mail column,  RMS Express will automatically stick my Comcast email as the addressee if you enter just my callsign in the message address To line or Cc line.  So if you actually intended to send a message to a Winlink address (which is what we want to do in this exercise), this is NOT what you want. 


My recommendation is to change your contacts list to distinguish between non-Winlink email addresses and Winlink addresses associated with the same callsign.  For example, have TWO entries in your contact list like shown below (the underscore is necessary):


Name                              Email

N3AE                              N3AE mailto:N3AE at WINLINK.org

N3AE_Email                   N3AE at COMCAST.NET mailto:N3AE at COMCAST.NET


That way, when you enter just a callsign in the address list, Winlink Express will default to the station's Winlink system address and not the station's normal internet provider email.  But entering N3AE_Email in the To or Cc line will force RMS Express to use the internet provider email.   If someone has a more elegant solution, please let me know.


If you don't have any entries in your RMS Express Contact list, you don't have to worry about this.

This information is for our MDC ARES? members ?
 
If you?re aware of Virginia Department of Emergency Management?s annual tornado drill Tuesday, March 19th.
https://www.vaemergency.gov/tornadodrill/
Save the date!  The Virginia State Emergency Communications Committee and the National Weather Service will conduct a statewide tornado drill and Emergency Alert System (EAS) test on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, at 9:45 a.m. or on Wednesday, March 20, 2019, at 9:45 a.m. as the backup date if severe weather impacts the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 19. At approximately 9:45 a.m., the National Weather Service will send a test tornado warning over NOAA Weather Radios. This test signal will sound a tone alert, show a test message or flash to indicate a message, simulating what people would hear or see during an actual tornado warning. Local radio stations, TV stations and cable outlets will also broadcast the test message via the Emergency Alert System.
 
ARRL VA Section:
Joe Palsa, Virginia Section Manager, K3WRY at ARRL.ORG

All,


Since I don't really have an agenda for this month's meeting, plus being busy with other matters, the March AUXCOMM meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 19th is cancelled.  Hoping we will have more ideas from membership at the April meeting on possible scenarios for the 2019 SET.


With spring on the way, it's time to review your personal tornado warning plans.  See https://www.weather.gov/safety/tornado-prepare


Remember the Winlink round-robin exercise currently underway.  From the copies I've received, the message is currently at WB3KAS for forwarding to KB3RAN.


The delivery sequence is repeated below.

Okay, I have my radio on and TNC hooked up.? Is the frequency 145.750?? I can't get any response to my transceiver when I open a session in Packet WinLink.? If anyone is available to call me to get this working again, do so.? 443-440-1736? I'm using a Yeasu FT2900 2 meter radio and a MFJ1270X TNC-X Packet Controller on 147.750.? Latest version of WinLink 1.5.19.0? I'm not sure what to put in the connection blocks.? I am using digipeater and K3CAL-10.? Is there a via condition to be put in?

ONE HELPFUL NOTE ON an annoying behavior in RMS Express:? 


Winlink Express has a Contacts list (i.e. address book).? You can find it by clicking on Settings and then Contacts.? ? If you already had an entry in the Name column of the Contacts list of say N3AE for example, with my Comcast email address in the Contacts list E-mail column,? RMS Express will automatically stick my Comcast email as the addressee if you enter just my callsign in the message address To line or Cc line.? So if you actually intended to send a message to a Winlink address (which is what we want to do in this exercise), this is NOT what you want. 


My recommendation is to change your contacts list to distinguish between non-Winlink email addresses and Winlink addresses associated with the same callsign.? For example, have TWO entries in your contact list like shown below (the underscore is necessary):


Name? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Email

N3AE? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? N3AE mailto:N3AE at WINLINK.org

N3AE_Email? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? N3AE at COMCAST.NET mailto:N3AE at COMCAST.NET


That way, when you enter just a callsign in the address list, Winlink Express will default to the station's Winlink system address and not the station's normal internet provider email.? But entering N3AE_Email in the To or Cc line will force RMS Express to use the internet provider email.? If someone has a more elegant solution, please let me know.


If you don't have any entries in your RMS Express Contact list, you don't have to worry about this.

All,


I've started the Winlink round-robin practice exercise by sending a message to the first callsign on the list below.? 


When you pick up your message from a Winlink gateway, add a few comments and forward it on to the next callsign on the list.? Please add N3AE to the Cc line so I can track progress.
