Hello there!

For those of you who have been participating in the Winlink exercises and
are ready to take it to the next level from sending messages via Telnet to
sending via RF, here are instructions for using the Sound Modem and
SignaLink. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=938m-pToxOY
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=938m-pToxOY&fbclid=IwAR3GOe-b6k50b7PQSKd3K4dRSCAi2wWRBOr1-YOchgmfvGdmonHTUsraqxw>
In the meantime, you can still use telnet if you don't have a modem.
If you send them a check-in form, please add K6COB; K04L in the CC field of
the message.
