[CALV-AUXCOMM] Winlink Exercise

[Shawn Donley]

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.
