FEMA Region 5 AUXCOM Winlink Net this Sunday (23 January)
|
Hello Everyone,
First off, a hearty thank you to all the stations that checked in on the 9 January FEMA 5 AUXCOM Winlink Net.? Although this net is conducted on the second and fourth Sunday of each month by FEMA Region 5 AUXCOM group, it is open to all amateur radio operators and SHARES operators.? The purpose of the net is to familiarize Winlink users with the Winlink system and use of the available message templates.? A list of the stations checking in on the 9th follows this message.
Our next net is this coming Sunday (23 January).? For this net, I'd like all stations to send an ICS-213 General Message.? Here's how it's done:

3. In the 'To' field enter 'W9REL@...'
