Meeting Date: 
Saturday, January 29, 2022 - 09:00

Times:

9:00 AM – 11:00AM

Drill Title:

Winlink Peer-to-Peer Practice

In emergency/disaster responses, a Winlink RMS (Radio Message Server) may not always be in range of one’s operating location.  So, in this drill we will be practicing sending Winlink messages directly between radio stations, not using a RMS.  This will be a “stay-at-home” drill.
