We had 8 check-ins this week, with 7 image attachments. Nice job everyone. Here is the roster. Dan, K0GIS, Nebraska City, Otoe, Nebraska, USA, Vara HF, No Bigfoot this week. He's back in hiding. Ken, W9GM, La Crosse, La Crosse, WI, USA, VARA FM, via W9GM-10 Chris, KD9CZM, Holmen, La Crosse County, WI, USA, VARA FM - email for details on gun raffle - its a great cause (Good Luck, Chris) Paul, N0BBD, Washington, Franklin, MO, USA, VHF, VARA FM Mark Kelm, K0GMK, Rochester, MN, Olmsted County Tim, K4RHK, Coloumbia, SC, Telnet, ON AC. Cold, clear and calm here in the capitol city of SC.. ops normal Ben, KU0HN, Lewiston, Winona, MN, VARA-FM via KU0HN-10 Shawn, KD9KGQ, Holmen, La Crosse County, WI, USA, VARA FM (Nice Tuner) I had a fun little NCO oopsie this week too, with a lesson learned. I was daydreaming about the .308 on Chris's raffle ticket, then got called away from my computer. When I came back I closed the image and deleted the message, but forgot to save the image. Winlink Message Viewer came to the rescue. If you weren't aware of this feature (or bug if you don't want people reading your messages) check out https://www.winlink.org/content/us_amateur_radio_message_viewer. I was able to log in, find Chris's picture, and download it from there. 73 and have a great week everyone. Good luck to anyone participating in Winter Field Day tomorrow. Ben - KU0HN

W0NE Winlink Net Reminder - 1-23-2025
Hello Everyone, I hope everyone was able to stay warm this past weekend. Tomorrow is our weekly net. The exercise this week will be to send an image attachment. Send the message to W0NE@... with the typical check-in text, then attach an image of your choice. Probably the biggest challenge with this exercise will be to reduce the size of the image to something that can be reasonably sent over the air. The Winlink system caps attachment size at 120kb which can be a bit small when dealing with Images. If you happen to be on Windows and using Winlink Express, there is a built-in image editor that can help cut the size down. There is a video tutorial available here: https://winlink.org/content/winlink_express_picture_editor_video_how_to If you are on another platform, there are lots of tools around to do this. I tend to favor Gimp or Imagemagik on Linux. Usually I crop zealously, then reduce the color space and resolution until I am happy with the image and it is less than 120k. For Windows users I have heard of people using Cesium to resize images as well, but that's not something I have done personally. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's check-ins tomorrow. 73, Ben - KU0HN
