*** Winlink Wednesday (Episode #367) ***
9/20/2023
Third Wednesday of the month, so check-ins using an attached Winlink-native ICS-213 form are requested. Step-by-step instructions are here if you need them:
https://winlinkwednesday.net/docs/Winlink_Wednesday_ICS-213_Check-In.pdf
If you cannot use the form, standard check-ins are always welcome (no weather snapshots, please). Please remember to always include the standard check-in in the form message.
Example:
WHO: All amateur radio operators
WHAT: Winlink Wednesday
WHEN: Wednesday, 20 September 2023, 0000-2359 ET (UTC: 0400 Wed - 0359 Thu)
HOW: This net will accept check-ins via Winlink only. Send a check-in via any RMS during the timeframe above, or participate in one or both of the P2P sessions below.
Please do not use a "Telnet Winlink" connection (which defeats the purpose of Winlink). The goal is to have the message leave your station via RF.
Please remember to use the correct format (check-in message on a SINGLE LINE) for check-in, as shown below, over an RF connection.
To: KN4LQN (or alternate NCS, as appropriate)
Subject: Winlink Wednesday Check-In
Message body: call sign, first name, city or town, county, state (HF or VHF, etc.)
