Category: Winlink Checkin’s Weekly
VK/ZL Winlink Check-in’s. Updated weekly with check-in’s and a log of active gateways around VK & ZL.
Well what a week this was. Plenty of traffic on Winlink but only 2 check-in’s. I have been asked by some, please don’t respond to all with long article’s or text and if you must remove the original text. 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.

Was an interesting week this week, busy and hot over the weekend and this early part of the week wet and blustery which caused internet issues for me. Annoying with out NBN 🙁 in Australia. I hopefully have fixed it, found the lose connection and dried it out, tightened it and put it out of […]
