In this case, ETO stands for Emcomm Training Organization, https://emcomm-training.org/ - They now do monthly training Winlink Thursday events in addition to special events such as this one. The FEMA regions are numbered on this map. Region V includes Ohio. The Emcomm Training Organization has tactical Winlink addresses for each of the regions. In this case, it's ETO-05. The exercises vary from the most basic to fairly advanced use of Winlink as might be needed during and emergency.

Chuck,

I believe this is a regular post from what used to be the "Red Cross" training program for Winlink.   I believe they have now adopted training by doing less frequent exercises... now done every quarter or every 8 weeks.. vs weekly/monthly when they first started.   I presume ETO refers to the group that designs and conducts the Winlink training exercises -- "Exercise Training Organization" perhaps.... which summarizes (and publishes) exercise results after each exercise (aka "Feedback").

Hi, Bill:

Thanks.
This is my first message from 'ETO'.
I did not add a new Winlink net recently.
For several years, I occasionally check into GCARES and
once or twice a year to GLAWN
(which I am dropping due to their bulk mail addressing policy).
I don't see that either is affiliated with FEMA.

73, Chuck
