Winlink and California Yacht Club station K6CYC has just finished a major upgrade and expansion of our Winlink, Emergency, and Amateur equipment.

We are now operating Winlink with two HF Transceivers for RMS Pactor, two SCS Pro modems, two VHF and UHF RMS Packet transceivers with new high gain antennas, two computers, two HF R8 vertical antennas, one Force 12 C4E beam, a computer controlled Yaseu G1000 rotor, an 80 Meter NVIS Double Bazooka antenna, and a 72 hour AGM battery UPS with external gas generator for long-term emergency power.

4U1WED solarpowered WL2K operations

Did anybody notice that on June 5, 2008 was the World Environment Day? Ham Radio was presented in front of the United Nations Building in Vienna, Austria. The entire equipment has been solely solar powered! All modes of operations were used. Messages and compressed pictures were sent around the world using Winlink via OE3XEC pactor on 80m HF.

Hello!

After a few weeks, I've FINALLY been able to migrate my station over to the new RMS system.

Further info can be found on our Website.

At times users would received an error when performing actions after the WebMail screen had been displayed for a long period of time (15 to 30 minutes or more). The error was due to a web session time-out. This new version should correct this problem, but if you see errors or experience odd behavior while using WebMail be sure to report it (using one of the Winlink Yahoo! reflectors, not this web site, please).

Greetings de Paradise:

This is our first post. We are interested in comments, feedback, and suggestions on how NP2E might use this space to help our users make better use of Winlink in general and the NP2E RMS in particular.

Currently, we have been reduced to a single HF radio operating on 40 meters. When we better secure our transmitting site from lightning, we will once again expand operations to 30 and possibly 80 meters.

We read our mail when time allows. We can be reached at np2e@paradise.vi or np2e@winlink.org
