Had a snappy exchange using VARA on Winlink this morning. #hamradio #winlink2000 #wl2k

Testing intra county WL2K this morning on 80m. Got our hub station P2P with .5W because why not do it QRPp! Had a neighbor activate & come slamming in…never seen the Vera angry octopus before! #hamradio #winlink #qrp #emcomm #ares #digitalradio #wl2k

I understand I’m asking to sidestep the modus operandi of WL2K & its design is to keep traffic moving. I we could designate alias RELAY and then whomever that is would sort by hand and forward as appropriate. #wl2k #hamradio

Am I missing something or can Winlink Express be configured to send and receive 3rd party messages? Station A should be able to park traffic for station C at station B. Let’s pretend you have no internet, are all VHF, & time/distance separated. #wl2k #hamradio

Did some WL2K last night. Shut would be nice if it had an option to configure radio only for local net where an operator could be a post office with Winlink Express and have store and forward options during P2P. #hamradio #winlink #wl2k

The RPI running my WL2K node was suffering for the cold this weekend. Had to make it a little house. N2QFD-10 is a packet node running LinBPQ. When we hit teens and below the USB dongle’s misbehave. At least spring is on the way. #wl2k #hamradio

WL2K clone node parts are assembled minus antenna! #wl2k #hamradio

I’d say I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I do… please don’t just hit Reply All using Winlink. The traffic coming in might not be for me and it’s all huge. #hamradio #wl2k

Took back my 3b+ finally. Built my Pi-Star during the pandemic and learned Banana Pi wouldn’t do. Nothing like long term projects. #hamradio #dmr #pistar next up for the old 3b+? Another WL2K node #wl2k #rpi

Put my RMS node out to field test today. N2QFD-10 PKT1200 145.030mhz FN12ra 10w Omni on a hilltop. Hopefully it serves the region well. #hamradio #WL2K #winlink #bpq32

Well, the WL2K node had to come inside again. It’s a cellar dweller currently and working well despite the tangle of wires. Perhaps it’s time to really field test it. #hamradio #wl2k

Just sent my first winlink radio email from the laptop to the raspberry pie RMS Gateway on the same desk. #hamradio #wl2k

Next project is adding a 2m RMS gateway with my Raspberry Pi. I’m not crazy thinking Direwolf can be a kiss TNC to this end am I?
