Correction: W0NE Winlink Net - May 2, 2024
W9GM just informed me that I need to update my forms.? It appears that the Welfare Message form has been replaced by the Quick Message form.? Please check in using the new Quick Message form.? You can leave the Phone number/SMS fields blank.

W0NE Winlink Net - May 2, 2024
Good Evening Everyone, One of the main advantage of Winlink over other amateur radio applications is the ease of third-party traffic handling.? In the aftermath of a disaster, hams have been instrumental in sending health and welfare messages from affected areas to victim's loved ones to let them know their status.? Winlink makes this process very easy since you can simply email any email address you want. For this week's exercise we will be sending a welfare message using the template under General Forms.? Complete the form as follows: From Name:? Your Name Date/Time: The current date/time To Emails:?? ku0hn@... ?(note that this is *not* a winlink address)Incident / Event Location or Region / Area Name: W0NE Winlink Net Check-In
Message:? Name, Callsign, City, County, State, Mode/Gateway If you do not have forms available, please send a regular check-in message to ku0hn@.... 73, Ben - KU0HN

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder 4-25-2024
Hello Everyone, Thanks for hanging in there last week with the position report exercise.? I was able to reproduce what looks like a bug where messages sent to QTH are delivered there, but not to an address in the CC field.? I have reported this to the Winlink Program Group. This week let's do a regular check-in.? Send a message to W0NE any time tomorrow either using the standard net check-in form, or as a one-line check-in in the body of the message.? The message format is:
Subject: Winlink Net Check-In
Email Body: Name, Callsign, City, County, State, Country, Mode (and Gateway if applicable)
73,
Ben - KU0HN

Re: W0NE Winlink Net Roster - 4-18-24
Thanks for letting me know. It looks like you and Ken both sent the report and CCd to W0NE. Did anyone else try it that way?
I will see if I can reproduce this afternoon.
Ben

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder 4-18-24
Hello Everyone,
Tomorrow is our weekly Winlink net.
I don't think we have ever done a position report exercise before, so let's do that this week.? For Winlink Express instructions, I will refer you to the Emcomm-training.org's instructions since they are better than what I could come up with.? They can be found here:
Please note the check-in should be sent to W0NE where the instructions reference "Your local clearinghouse."
If you are using PAT, Click Action -> Position and complete the form.? This will generate the message and post it to the outbox.? From there you can copy/paste the contents to a new message addressed to W0NE.? You can either send or discard the message to QTH in the outbox.

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder
Sorry for the late reminder everyone.? I ended up working pretty late last night.
For today's net, let's just do a standard check-in, either using the check-in form or with the check-in message in the body.
My station is online for P2P (connect and send to KU0HN rather than W0NE if doing P2P) if anyone wants to connect that way.? It can be accessed digipeating through w0ne-7 or mnroc2 on 145.670.

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder 4-4-2024
Hi Everyone,
The net is back this week, although with the weather today I wish I would have stayed in Arizona for a few more days.
Since we are back in winter this week, let's do a weather report for our check-in.? Since we haven't done instructions on forms in a little while, and we have had some new folks since then, I'll post some brief instructions below.? Feel free to ask if you have questions.
Winlink Express:
1.? Compose a new message like normal.? From the top of the compose window, click "Select Template."?
2.? Browse to Weather Forms and choose "Local Weather Report."
PAT:
1.? Click Action -> Compose.
2.? Click the "Templates" button.
3.? Browse to Weather Forms and choose "Local Weather Report."
When the form opens, check the "This is an exercise" box and fill the form to the best of your ability.? In the "Notes (Optional)" field, fill out the normal check-in data.

?Hello Everyone,
Sorry, I'm a bit late with my reminder again this week.
For this week's exercise, let's try P2P check-ins again.? I have my system listening for incoming packet connections on 145.670.? It should be available via the W0NE-7 digipeater from the La Crosse/Winona areas, and via the MNROC2 digipeater in Rochester.
If p2p isn't going to work for whatever reason, feel free to send a regular check-in.? If you have technical issues with P2P, shoot me a message since I'm working from home today.
