[MVMA] Registration for Winlink Express: Is this for real?

[John Westerkamp]

I have read over the P2P info and set it up on my station. It looks like it
should work with no problem. I realized I only have 1 Signalink USB so I
cannot setup my other station to receive the test email, but I don't see
any reason why this should not work.

I could test this with another site if somebody is available to try a
direct peer-to-peer connection. I would just need a simplex frequency and a
callsign. I am in Beavercreek at the corner of Grange Hall and Indian
Ripple. Or we could try through the BARC repeater.

Thanks!
