Greetings:

The WinLink training will start on September 23 at 8:00 PM CT. You will need to be prepared prior to the start of training.

To be prepared you will need the following setup

o A computer with WinLink installed (no radio required) and dual monitors. One monitor for the A/V conference and the second for your WinLink session.
OR
o A computer with WinLink Installed (no radio required) and either a second computer/laptop or tablet. The first computer will run WinLink while the second computer/laptop/tablet will be used for the A/V conference.

The WinLink training will take 3 to 4 one hour sessions.

I will send a Winlink message to everyone by 6:30 PM on the day of the training with the A/V conference link.

If you know other that want to attend have them send an email to WG5GK@winlink.org. (Don’t forget the //WL2K in the subject line) I have 5 slots available.
