One or two trips thru the Hub system and it will make perfect sense. No experience needed, just show up!

Training and Tabletop Exercise – “I Am Safe” Welfare Messages using Winlink
The purpose of this low-key, hands-on exercise is to send “I Am Safe” welfare messages. It is a new paper to radio to “loved one” process that needs a final, at scale test.
We need multiple radio operators to run a final proof-of-concept exercise to pass “I Am Safe” Welfare messages using Winlink. We will be passing message traffic locally and to the east coast. You will be given on-the-job training to test if the processes are quickly executable in times of disaster.
2 options for radio operators:

Bring your portable Winlink station with UHF/VHF capability. Elmers will be available for Winlink assist, but this is not Winlink basic training.

Use one of our 3 Winlink stations to pass traffic.

Attendees will learn about the process and can also create messages to be sent, no radio experience is for that. Everyone is welcome!
