I'd like to pass along some info for checking into a few Winlink nets. I made a sticky note with all of the pertinent info in the format for each net which makes checking in a simple copy and paste format for each net. Hopefully this helps a few of you get started!
My info is as follows but you should change the info to your call, name, location and mode. For these nets info format is critical for their records and documentation.
