[PARC] Fwd: [Special] [RAC ACS Winlink] Winlink for Emergency Communications: Beginners Workshop #WinlinkExpress

Tue Feb 7 20:23:17 EST 2023

This may be of interest to the members of your *ACS group* as an 
introduction to *Winlink Express.* This is the course that I originally 
took two years ago that enabled me to get on Winlink.  It is a slow 
paced, multi week course that covers all the basics.  I encourage you to 
encourage the members of your *ACS/ARES group* to attend this 
basic/introductory course.  It is usually posted the day after the 
course on line. You can participate on-line and it is also streamed live 
if you are not able to get on the live session.  The LAX Ares group has 
been using this for years and are very positive in their teaching approach.

      *Winlink for Emergency Communications: Beginners Workshop*

The WaveTalkers crew will be hosting a workshop called: *Winlink for 
Emergency Communications: Beginners Workshop*, on Thursday evenings in 
the Month of February 2023 beginning on *February 16, 2023 at 7pm 
Pacific Time*.

This Introductory Workshop is targeted at hams radio operators who are 
*NEW to Winlink*. The goal of this series is to get New-To-Winlink users 
familiarized with the power of Winlink and how Winlink can complement 
Emergency Communications.  At the completion of this multi week 
workshop, you should be able to send and receive winlink email messages 
and submit information via standard Winlink forms.

*Topics covered in this workshop will include:*

·Introduction to Winlink

·Basic installation and configuration of Winlink on a Windows 10/11 PC

·Sending and receiving email via Winlink

·Overview of common Winlink Terms and Concepts

·Introduction to Basic Winlink Functions

·Sending and Receiving Winlink Forms relevant to Emergency Communicators

·Basic Radio to SoundCard Interface to Computer configurations.

You will need a valid amateur radio license and access to a Windows 10 
or 11 PC that you can install the Winlink application and other 
supporting applications onto in order to participate in this workshop. 
  You do not need a Radio with a computer interface to benefit from this 
class as we will start with training users on the power of Winlink and 
how it can help your Emergency Communications organization better assist 
their served agency.

*The workshop will be conducted via Zoom and space is limited to 250 
participants*. An internet connected computer with the latest version of 
Zoom installed, a webcam, microphone and speakers/headphones will be 
needed to participate.

This workshop will be offered for FREE to the first 250 hams that signup 
using the form below.* If you regularly check-in via Winlink for 
WaveTalkers LIVE or any of the Winlink Wednesday events then you are 
already familiar with the content that will be presented.* Please pass 
this invitation to other hams in your club or organization that would 
benefit from this Beginners Workshop.

the Zoom and additional resources will be sent prior to the first
