Our Winlink net, run by SARC repeater manager Horace Bong VA7XHB, isn’t your typical round-table chat.  Here’s how it works:

On the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, Horace sends out a Winlink message to all participants. Inside, you’ll find:

• A question or challenge to respond to

• A handy tip to make you smarter

• A recap of last time’s responses (when possible)

You’ll have until Sunday to reply at your convenience. No rush. No awkward check-ins. Just a chance to keep your Winlink skills sharp while having a bit of fun.

Want in?  Just send a Winlink message to VE7ADF with the subject: Winlink Net Signup.

Any mode works — Telnet, HF, VHF/UHF — whatever you’ve got.  Give it a try. It's not your average net, and that's kind of the point.

Just as scheduled nets let us prepare for urgent situations by practicing on various bands and repeaters, the Provincial Emergency Plan for Amateur Radio categorizes repeaters and simplex frequencies to be used by various areas during emergencies.  Download the Provincial Emergency Plan for Amateur Radio.
