Aloha Windward Winlink Operators and others,
Join us this Wednesday, March 17, 2021, at 8 PM for the Windward Oahu MID-MONTH Winlink Net.
We will take Voice check-ins then move to digital mode :
- 147.000+ pl 103.5 repeater will be used to take check-ins VOICE ONLY
- 145.070 Gateway Feq with VARA FM P2P (NET CONTROL MAIN)
- ----------------Below may be used as needed ----------------
- 145.050 VARA FM P2P & Voice secondary
- 146.505 Voice and VARA FM P2P
ALL amateur operators are invited even if you do not have your radio equipment set up yet. You can still practice and send via Telnet. This is the first step to getting started.
Here are some video to get you started: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-7mirT-kjfs84FQzLr-qv066Kl94rtYM
In advance, we will ask each operator to prepare at least 4 P2P messages to operators that might be on the net. Feel free to prep more.
- WWN MSG1: List the Address of the closest fire station and EMS station to your home.
- WWN MSG2: When the power goes out what backup power do you have at home?
- WWN MSG3: Where and when did you first get licensed?
- WWN MSG4: What other short questions should we ask each other?
We will try two-hop VARA FM digipeating. Pick a station that you can not reach P2P, if possible.
Each operator will pick the two Hops that will work the best.
Be ready to say what stations you will be using. Digipeating stations will work best.
Sample plan:
- NH6XL send P2P KH7HO Via 1 KH6LT Via 2 WH6EQU
- _____ send P2P ______ Via 1 _______ Via 2 _______
- _____ send P2P ______ Via 1 _______ Via 2 _______
Mahalo, Michael Miller (KH6ML)
