[CALV-AUXCOMM] Winlink Exercise

[Peter Holt]

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.

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.
