Ben and the group,
The Emergency Broadcast System information I sent this week is a ¡°Bulletin¡± from the General section of Winlink forms.? The bulletin sent was a homework assignment from EAST-COAST to research and communicate the EBS information for our area.?
Decided to share.?
My pleasure, this was a fun one and thanks for the?opportunity to learn.
Thanks Chris, and thanks again for accepting check-ins.

Chris, if you would kindly reply with any check-ins you received we can complete the roster.? Ken already forwarded his.
?
In addition, I encountered two new (to me) forms this week.? Shawn sent an "I Am Safe Message" and Tim sent an Emergency Broadcast System message.? My homework is to see what that one is for.
?
Another tip I learned this week is that Winlink Express is only able to accept P2P messages using one modem at a time, but PAT is able to use any or all of your configured modems at the same time.
