Hello Everyone,
This Sunday, 13 February, is the second Sunday of the month and we will hold 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 welcome and encouraged to check in.? The purpose of this net to help Winlink skills current by providing practice with the Winlink Express program and its features.

For this week's net, please use Winlink to send a Winlink Check In form to my email address.? I hope as many stations as possible will check in and invite others to check in also.

If you have a Winlink account:
1. Start Winlink
2. Start a new Winlink message
3. In the 'To' field, enter W9REL.radio@....
4. On the ribbon menu, click 'Select Template', then click the '+' sign next to General Forms, then double click 'Winlink Check In'.? Watch as a Check in form miraculously ?appears before your eyes.
5. Complete the form.? In the comments field, insert 'Exercise #2022-03' followed by your grid square, first name, your call-sign, your city, your state abreviation, and the method you used to send the message (telnet, packet VHF, Vara HF, pactor, carrier pidgeon, whatever).
6. On Sunday (13 February), send your message.

If you DO NOT have a Winlink account, what the heck?? This is, after all, a Winlink net.? Starting a Winlink account is free, as in no charge, zero denaro, butkus.? Plus Winlink is easy to use, especially so if you regularly check in to this net. Go ahead, you know you want to.

? ?2a. Start the Subject line with '//WL2K /R Feb 13th Check In'
