Yigal,

Who is making calls NOT to use Winlink, except for emergency communications!?!? It should be used enough on "blue sky" days so that it is simply routine when needed in an emergency. I'm thankful that firefighters don't only train during live structure fires!

Practice, practice, practice so you'll be proficient when needed... and know from day to day that your station and the RMS stations you hope to use are functioning properly.
