[WIARC] Winlink users

[Danny Pease]

Those that use the KA9EMA (PBBS) digipeater in Quincy to reach the W9DP-10 Winlink gateway, the digipeater is undergoing some changes. The hardware at the EMA site is being changed out and when the new hardware is up and running, the digipeater should be using KA9EMA-10 for digipeating (not PBBS) and should be a Winlink  gateway as well. I cannot say exactly when this will be active or if the gateway will be online immediately after the new hardware is online, but it could be as early as this afternoon. 

The W9DP-10 gateway will still be on the air but once KA9EMA-10 has it's gateway running, using it instead of W9DP-10 will give much better throughput since it will eliminate the digipeater hop.

If you have any questions  don't hesitate to ask.
