> Hello Everyone,
>
> A Winlink Training Session has been scheduled that will be open to any ARES member. The class is being held at the request of STMA (Rob Hoyt, EC STMA) but will be beneficial to many Winlink Operators.
>
> The class is scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2020 from 0830 to ~1130 depending upon questions, additional topics, etc. The 1130 ending time is not for me. I will remain as long as necessary to answer questions/help anyone. The Zoom class has a 100 participant limit. The login information is below.
>
> The class is geared towards new/low end of intermediate operators to get them up and running with the basics and a bit more.
>
>
> The class will cover topics such as:
>
> Basics of the Winlink System - to include Basics of the Winlink System, RMS, CMS, Hybrid Network, Session Types to include Winlink, Peer 2 Peer (P2P), Radio Only (RO) messaging, Protocols such as Pactor, ARDOP, Vara FM, Vara HF, Packet, Hardware and software configurations (Express Settings Options), Sound Card options, Software TNC's, Creating messages, addressing, basic form usage and saving data in/for the form, creating a Winlink Account, callsigns, aux callsigns, tactical callsigns, digipeating, and others if time permits. We will cover the basics to give everyone an overview and get them online and save the more 'advanced' items for later in the presentation.
>
> The presentation will include live usage of Winlink Software showing some items mentioned in the presentation to give students the ability to follow along with their own Winlink installation.
>
> Demo's will show connection types (Packet, Vara FM & HF, ARDOP) operation, and some hardware configurations.
>
> Questions will be held until the end of the class. The Zoom Host will handle questions via the "Hands Up" function in Zoom and the Chat window. Be patient if you post something; it will get answered.
>
> Both Video and Muting will be turned off at the beginning of the presentation to save bandwidth. When you are asked to present your question you can unmute and have at it. If you have an issue that needs to be sent via video that can also be turned on.
>
> Participants need to have their name, callsign, and affiliation noted on their screen.
>
> Attached are two documents to pass on to your participants. One notes how to put Your Hand Up for a question and the other how to change your name.
>
> Several experienced Winlink Operators from PRGE will be teaching the class:
>
> Jim Montgomery, WB3KAS, PRGE EC, MDC SEC
> Jeff Humbert, KB3SPH, PRGE AEC ADMIN
> Ken La Capria, KA3POX, WL2K Gateway Node Sysop
> Steven Keller, KC3DSO, PRGE AEC Operations, MDC ASEC (Main Instructor)
>
> Learning the Winlink Software is about 75% of the game here. And this can be learned when using Winlink via a simple Telnet connection. The RF part of the link is easy as we all work with RF almost daily. I highly encourage all ARES members to get and maintain a Winlink Account. It's free (a small reg fee if you choose but it is recommended) and easy to get an account. To get the most benefit from the class it's highly recommended all participants have a working Winlink Account prior to the presentation.
