Thousands of check-in messages are sent to the Winlink Wednesday net every week, and now you can view them in one place, to search by episode or callsign, and filter the results.
Background
An effort was started in the summer of 2025 to gather a collection of weekly check-in statistics to be used for the end of the net year summary, and that effort continues to this day.
The Winlink Wednesday Historical Check-In Archive is viewable at:
https://winlinkwednesday.net/historical
As of 11/9/2026, it contains all the check-ins from episodes 268 through 530, totaling 245,320 messages from 3,960 unique participants. It will be updated every week for that week's episode, and grow to encompass the records from Greg KW6GB's leadership of episodes 1 through 267.
How it works
Browse by episode
Pick any week and see the full roster as it was published.
Search by callsign
Enter any callsign, past or present, to see all messages received by the net. The callsign page shows the total number of check-ins, messages sent by RF for purposes of the Winlink Wednesday Century Club, and the first and most recent episodes joined.
Badges
First check-ins, WWCC milestones (100th, 200th, etc), P2P and Telnet modes, ICS-213 attachments, and major net milestones (50,000th message, 100,000th, etc) all received badges to highlight these messages.
Filters
The "Filter these results" box narrows any list, episode or callsign, as you type. Filters are based on the contents of the check-in message, the badge-tags (p2p, ics213, telnet, outside-va, weather), message #, etc.
Combine terms to narrow the results. For instance, filtering by "Richmond Vara" will show all check-in messages that match "Richmond" AND "Vara".
Put a "!" before a term to exclude it: "Richmond !Vara" would show all from "Richmond" AND NOT "Vara", and "!outside-va" shows only check-in messages from participants in Virginia.
Starting the filter field with "/" uses full regular expressions, with or without the trailing "/". Using "/\bHF\b/" filters for just the bounded-word "HF" (and won't include messages with "VHF"), and "/(Richmond|Charlottesville)/" search for both "Richmond" OR "Charlottesville".
Linking to specific episodes or callsigns
The address bar follows the episode or callsign being viewed, so the links can be copied and sent to others. Reloading the page always returns to view the latest episode.
I look forward to your feedback, and if you have questions or suggestions please get in touch!
