W0NE Winlink Net Reminder - 10-31-2024
Good Morning All,
?
Tomorrow is our weekly Winlink net.? I am going to recycle an exercise from this time last year because I think it's good practice.
?
This week's exercise will be to send a message--use the standard check-in--using packet Winlink, but rather than connecting directly, connect via a digipeater or using a connect script to go through one or more packet nodes.? This is useful if you are in a location with no local gateway, or if the internet connection is down at your local gateway. A suggested path for those in Winona or La Crosse might be to connect to W9GM-10 via W0NE-7 on 145.030 or KU0HN-10 via W0NE-7 on 145.670. In Rochester, you could connect to W0NE-10 via MNROC2 on 145.670. To use a digipeater in Winlink Express, simple fill in the gateway you want to connect to and put the digipeater's SSID in the box after "Via."? In PAT, you need to type "/" or leave a space in between the target digipeater and the gateway.? For example, "W0NE-7/W9GM-10" or "W0NE-7 W9GM-10" is the connection string to use the W9GM-10 gateway with W0NE-7 digipeating. Connect scripts only work in Winlink Express at this time, but they are a bit more powerful.? To connect to W0NE-10 through MNROC2, set the connection type to Script and use the following script: C? MNROC2
CONN
!WAITFOR ?
C W0NE-10

More information on digipeaters and scripts can be found here:?? 73, Ben - KU0HN

Re: W0NE Winlink Net Roster 10-17-2024
Hi Chris,
I checked that message ID in the Winlink Message Viewer, and sure enough, it was sent correctly, so the issue is on the receiving (my) end.? If you have some time and feel like sending that form again we can see if it goes through.? Last time something like this happened the Winlink developers couldn't reproduce and it started working again on it's own.

Hi Everyone,
?
Tomorrow is our weekly Winlink net.
?
If you have forms, send a Weather Report form this week.? If not, feel free to send a regular check-in.
?
I'm going to be doing some traveling at the end of the week so the net roster may be later than normal.

Re: Announcement: No Net this week
Understood. Thanks for the note.
Many prayers for all the hurricane victims out there.
Chris - KD9CZM
Hi all,
?
The Winlink Development team has requested all non-essential activity using the Winlink network be suspended until after hurricane Milton has moved on and response efforts have turned to recovery.? We will plan to resume the net on October 17.

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder
Tomorrow is our weekly Winlink net.
?
As promised, let's do a position report 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:
https://emcomm-training.org/WT%20for%2010-28-2021_%20Winlink%20Position%20Reports%20sent%20to%20APRS%20map%20web%20sites%20(1).pdf 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.
?
I will put a map together and send the link out with the report on Friday or Saturday.
?
Since there is still emergency traffic in the aftermath of the hurricane, let's stick to local VHF or Telnet this week and leave the HF gateways available for more important messages.

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder - Sept 19, 2024
Hello Everyone,
?
Tomorrow is our weekly Winlink net.
?
For those with forms capability, let's use the ICS-213 form for our check-in tomorrow.? It is located under ICS USA Forms -> ICS213 General Message.
?
To complete the form, fill it out as follows:
?
Check the "This is an exercise" box.
1.? Incident Name - W0NE Winlink Net
2.? To - Net Control
3.? From - Your Name
4.? Subject - W0NE Winlink Net Check-In
5.? Date - The current date
6.? Time - The current time
7.? Message - The usual check-in message Name, Call, etc...
8.? Approved By - Your name
8a. Position - Net Participant
Location information is optional.
?
Since we have some newer folks, if anyone has trouble with the form or is unfamiliar please let me know.
?
If anyone wants to try P2P this week, I have it up and running starting now, but it is by no means required (send to KU0HN if doing P2P).? The W0NE-7 node/digipeater seems much happier now so we might have better luck this week.

I apologize for not sending a reminder Wednesday night, and also for forgetting to re-enable direwolf.
?
I'll be working on the 145.670 port at Witoka this week to see if we can get it working for P2P.
?
Next week let's do a regular check-in and when I'm confident everything is back running 100% we can try P2P again.
