This week the WMARC weekly Wednesday Video Meeting will have host Jay Taft K1EHZ. Jay will be discussing Winlink. If interested in setting up Winlink or following along with the presentation, please follow these directions to get your computer ready to go. The Zoom talk on January 20th will include an introduction to Winlink Global Email, current NH ARES Winlink activities, and getting started using Winlink. The training goal of the meeting could be for the group to be able to use Winlink by Telnet over the internet. In preparation, participants should go to Winlink.org, then the Download tab, then User Programs, then Winlink Express install. Install the program then open Settings and fill in basic information to open a Winlink email account. The address will be callsign@winlink.org. Attached is a pdf that provides additional information. If there is time and interest, we could also go over VHF modes. Several Winlink modes use the same equipment as FLdigi, so those who are doing FLdigi have what is needed for Winlink. That said, I find Winlink easier to learn and use than FLdigi. To stay informed about club meetings etc please sign up for our mailing list on the home page. |
