Hello Everyone, Please pass this on to others who may be interested. This Sunday (9 January) is the second Sunday of the month and time for the next FEMA Region 5 AUXCOMM Winlink Net.? While this net is sponsored by the FEMA Region 5 AUXCOMM group, all ham radio operators and those with SHARES callsigns are encouraged to check in. I want to increase the number of stations checking in on this net so please spread the word!? For this week's net, I'd like stations to send a Winlink Check In form If you have a Winlink account: 1. Start Winlink 2. Start a new Winlink message 3. In the 'To' field, enter W9REL.? 4. On the ribbon menu, click 'Select Template', then click 'Standard Templates', then click 'General Forms', then double click 'Winlink Check In'.? VOILA! a check in form will open. 5. Complete the form?? ? 5a. In the 'Comments' section, on a single line enter Exercise #2022-1, your grid square, your first name, your callsign, and your state.? Example: Exercise #2022-1, EN52, Skip, W9REL, Wisconsin.? If there is more than one operator at your location, use a separate line for each operator. 6. On Sunday (9 January) send the message to W9REL. If you DO NOT have a Winlink account, why not?? This is, after all, a Winlink net.? Starting a Winlink account is free and the system is easy to use.?? To check in via email: 1. Open your email client. 2. In the 'To' field, enter W9REL@.... 3. Begin the 'Subject' line with //WL2K /R followed by the message subject.? The //WL2K is required otherwise Winlink will reject the message.? The [space]/R identifies the precedence of your message as routine. 4. In the message text, enter Exercise #2022-1, your grid square, your first name, your callsign, and your state. 5. On Sunday send your message.?? I hope you all had a marvelous Holiday season.?? Keep healthy and safe and keep good situational awareness --------------------------- Skip Sharpe? W9REL |
