I copy and pasted this info from the EAST-COAST Winlink net but I thought this is too good to not pass along.

This week, we are going to help you get a weather report that is only for your specific County or Weather zone. We are also going to help you create a Template in Winlink, so in the future, the weather report for your specific county or area will only be a few mouse clicks away. ?Don't worry, it is not a complicated project! I am going to talk you through it, step-by-step in this message.?

The first thing you will need to do is visit this website: ?

Once you are on this website, find your State or area in the list, and click on either the PDF or JPG highlighted link. (My preference is for a PDF file). ?Once you click on that file, a map of your state or area will show up. Each County or area will have a 3-digit number. Either print out the map, or write down the 3-digit number for your County or area.

?

Now you want to go back to your Winlink program and click on MESSAGE to expand the list, and scroll down and select TEMPLATE MANAGER. ?For most of us, 3 choices will appear, which are Standard Templates, Global Templates and a choice with your Call Sign Templates. You want to click one time on your call sign templates so that it is highlighted. After your Call sign Templates is highlighted, go to the top of that window and click the word ADD. ?A new window opens, and you are asked to Name your template. I suggest that you name it with the name of your County and state and the words Weather Report behind it. (Example: Renville County MN Weather Report) You should leave the little radio button for Call Sign Specific highlighted and click the CREATE button.
A new window will open, and you will need to enter the information below in that window: (The information below creates a Renville County MN Template. For your personal template for your County or area, you will change the Subject name, the cd state abbreviation, and where it says get mnz065.txt, you would enter your 2-letter state with the letter z followed by the 3-digit code followed by .txt )

?

After you have entered the above information (edited for your County or area) you want to click SAVE and close out the window.

To use your new Weather Template, Click ?MESSAGE ?like you were starting a new message, then click SELECT TEMPLATE, then click the + sign next to your call sign and look for your County Weather report that you have created. Double click on it so that it opens. When your message template opens, just click POST MESSAGE, and then open or run a Winlink session to exchange your message. ?Wait a few minutes and open another Winlink session to check for mail, and your new Weather Report message should be there.?
