Or maybe VARA HF Winlink servers?

Hi Chuck,

Do you have a set of Winlink servers we should be able to talk to that adheres to the rules?

Do we need to start a list and verify?

For me, I usually use N1ABC-10 that is part of the MRA infrastructure in Marlboro.

What I can see is:

I can verify that N1ABC-10 adheres to the rules, but what about everyone else?

thanks!

I know some of our members are working on using WinLink to pass ICS213 message forms. WinLink includes these as part of their standard forms package, making their use simple and easy.

As long as we respect the rules of the scenario (power and internet loss means no repeaters or digipeaters without backup power, and no non-satellite internet) then WinLink is an efficient and effective means of passing our traffic between shelter sites and any of the destinations.

If you are thinking of passing these message forms via WinLink, they should be addressed to:

K1CBI (Wayne will be in Agawam, near MEMA Region 3/4)

KF1EMA (The FEMA Region 1 Regional Coordination Center in Maynard)

Still waiting on final word on MEMA HQ in Framingham, if they participate I will send out a WinLink address as soon as I know.

I encourage all members to have WinLink as an important part of their tool kit.
