The Winona Amateur Radio Club holds a Winlink net each week.

The purpose of the net is two-fold.  First, we want to make sure our equipment is functioning correctly and we are familiar with it’s use.  The best way to do this is practice.  The second purpose is to provide a community where newcomers to Winlink (or packet, or other digital data modes) can ask questions, find answers, and most importantly, learn by doing.

To participate in the net, simply send a check-in message to W0NE@winlink.org.

The net schedule is more relaxed during the summer months.  The schedule is as follows:

• Regular schedule, Memorial Day to Labor Day.  Check in any time on Thursday between 00:00 and 23:59 in your local time zone.
• Summer schedule, Labor Day to Memorial Day.  Check in any time Monday-Friday between 00:00 and 23:59 local time.

During the regular schedule, several times a month, we use the net as an opportunity to practice using various features of the Winlink system.  Exercises will be announced on the groups.io page and you can sign up using the link below.

A simple 1-line check-in message is as follows:
Subject: Winlink Net Check-In
Email Body: Name, Callsign, City, County, State, Country, Mode (and Gateway if applicable)
