Fall 2024 Winlink Software Refresher

Are you ready?  Ready for what you ask?  Are you ready for the October Colorado Simulated Emergency Test (SET)?   Well, to be “ready”, we all should be familiar with how to use Winlink to send basic messages over the airwaves.   Some members have a good working knowledge of Winlink, and some us need a refresher.    Well, here’s our chance to get a refresher.

We will meet together via Microsoft Teams for about an hour on a beautiful, September Saturday morning and walk through the basic functionality of Winlink.   We’ll answer questions about where to download Winlink from, how to configure it, how to send and receive messages, create and send forms and create/send an ICS 213RR form using Winlink.  This refresher is to prepare us for participating in the October Colorado state SET (Simulated Emergency Test) exercise.  Everyone can participate from home for this year’s SET exercise.  How cool is that?  No need to travel.

Perry W6AUN will be our instructor.

PS.  It will help if you can download and install Winlink prior to the workshop from www.winlink.org.
