Hello Everyone, We had a successful exercise this week. Thanks to Ken and Chris for accepting check-ins for the net. Here is the roster so far: P2P Check-ins to KU0HN Shawn, KD9KGQ, Holmen, La Crosse County, WI, USA, VHF Packet (I Am Safe Message, P2P) Chris, KD9CZM, Holmen, La Crosse County, WI, USA, Packet 2m (P2P) Dan , KE0UQU,Winona ,Winona County, MN Vara HF via KU0HN (P2P) Ken, W9GM, La Crosse, La Crosse, WI, USA, Packet, 2M (P2P) P2P Check-ins to W9GM: Chris, KD9CZM, Holmen, La Crosse County, WI, USA, Packet 2m Ben, KU0HN, Lewiston, Winona, MN, VHF Packet P2P Check-ins to W0NE: N4RJB, RICHARD, PUNTA GORDA, CHARLOTTE, FL, TELNET Bruce; KC9LLI; Elroy; Juneau; Wi.; USA K4RHK, Tim, Routine/ Emergency Broadcast System - Columbia, SC #Winlink exercise 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. 73, Ben - KU0HN

Hello Everyone, Tomorrow is our weekly Winlink net. This week's activity will be checking in via P2P if you are able. If you are not, check in as usual. Make sure your message type is set to P2P Winlink when you compose it. Check in with either the standard check-in form or with the standard 1-line check-in format. Make sure the message is addressed directly to the station you are connecting to (so not W0NE). So far we have 2 stations accepting P2P Check-ins: KU0HN on VHF packet on 145.670 KU0HN on VARA-FM on 145.670 KU0HN on VARA HF, (40 meters) dial frequency 7.1013 MHz W9GM on VHF Packet on 145.030 Both W9GM and KU0HN are also available by digipeating via W0NE-7 (VHF Packet only) if you don't have a direct connection. If anyone else wants to accept P2P messages, please reply to this notice. Anyone who accepts messages gets extra amateur radio points. 73, Ben - KU0HN

Hello Everyone, We had 9 check-ins this week from 8 participants. Here is the roster: Shawn, KD9KGQ, Holmen, La Crosse County, WI, USA, VHF Packet Ben, KU0HN, Lewiston, Winona, MN, VARA HF Dan , KE0UQU,Winona ,Winona County, MN Vara HF via W9CWC Jeff, K6BSY, Fair Oaks, Sacramento, CA, VHF Bruce Lange; KC9LLI; Elroy; Juneau; Wi; Telnet Ken, W9GM, La Crosse, La Crosse, WI, USA, ARDOP, 40M, via N0LCR-1 Ken, W9GM, La Crosse, La Crosse, WI, USA, VARA, 30M, via VE3KPG Lance Tagliapietra, AD0UT, Winona, Winona, Minnesota, Telnet Paul, N0BBD, Washington, Franklin, MO, USA, VHF, VARA FM We haven't tried P2P check-ins for a while so that will be the exercise next week. If anyone else would like to accept P2P check-ins for the net next week, please let me know. I've found that successfully receiving the check-ins is more of a challenge than sending them. We could potentially have several stations accepting check-ins on different frequencies or modes. 73, Ben - KU0HN
