Well another week, we have a new person checking, Martin N6QIR so at the moment some of his details are not there. As a new winlink user he is trying to get the handle of how it all works which is great. Martin info as supplied “I am new to Winlink and trying to learn […]
Well a small week but with people away that is to be expected. Catch you all next week.
I put this out there for peoples interest. We would run a fox hunt on the 17th January if people are interested. The first Fox Hunt we ran at the end of 2020 was small but a great success and everyone enjoyed the quick bit of fun. We are happy to run one again, same […]
Well with some terrible issues with technology (Windows) seems I have sorted the problems out. Moved away from Winblows and we will see how this goes. Not sure exactly what the issue was but it seems if you leave Winlink express running on telnet and windows running constantly after a few months it seems to […]

There are some who rely on HF Winlink with slower protocols like ARDOP to actually communicate […]

Only a couple this week, Neil M0KNC is travelling and was able to get in portable. A Portable winlink connection on a SOTA activation attempt from Tony VK2VIC, SOTA Summit Saturday 14th Nov 2020 @ 0945hrs local. NSW Summit VK2/ST010 Mt Foxlow. Great to see some portable attempts around the place.
We had a bit of a quiet week, no one sent links or information on their setups especially portable stations for Winlink. It’s great news that the sunspots seem to be on the rise so the HF propagation will start getting better again. Great to see that people test their setups. I am in the […]
