Great Lakes Area Winlink Net Started
A new Great Lakes Winlink Net has been started to promote the use of Winlink and training on the various
facets of the hybrid amateur radio data/internet system. The net is open primarily to those states that border any
of the Great Lakes: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, and
the Canadian province of Ontario. However, radio amateurs wishing to check in from other states or provinces
anywhere are welcomed to participate. This net is modeled on the Wisconsin ARES Winlink net.
The net check-in process is as follows: Send either a basic, plain text message, or use any of the forms templates
on the Winlink Express platform available that will allow you to include the following line of text in the body of
the message or in an appropriate part on the form you choose to send: FIRST NAME, CALLSIGN, CITY,
COUNTY, STATE, COUNTRY. For example: RYAN, KB8RCR, REMUS, MECOSTA, MICHIGAN, USA.
The net started on Wednesday, March 10, and each week on Wednesdays, amateurs may send their messages or
forms any time during the day using Winlink in any mode available, RF or via Telnet. Send your message to
KB8RCR as the recipient on Winlink. - Ryan Lughermo, KB8RCR, ARRL Assistant Section Emergency
