Winlink

• 2025-06-25 — A small shack upgrade : added a dedicated monitor for Winlink Wednesday sessions. A year into the weekly habit, still finding small ways to make it easier.
• 2025-06-12 — An evening in the shack , inspired by @VE5REV: catching up on Winlink messages — Microsoft Surface, VARA FM, ICOM IC-705, Comet GP-9. Same weekly gear pairing, still going strong.
• 2025-04-30 — Two weeks in a row is a trend : a lunchtime Winlink Wednesday check-in — ICOM IC-705 at 5 watts, Microsoft Surface Go 2, a mag-mount Signalstick antenna, VARA FM through the WB4EMA gateway. The weekly practice that’s carried on ever since.
• 2024-09-25 — Dual-radio EMCOMM check-in : Winlink over HF (FT-857D, Digirig, TN07 My Go2 antenna) running alongside a VHF net (CS800D PLUS, Comet GP-9) — practicing both message-passing and voice-net roles in the same session.
