Only 2 Weeks Away!! Message-ID: <4A2ADDAD.8090004@arrl.net> Hey Gang, We're still recruiting radio operators for the Patriot Triathlon. We're still short handed and could use a few more folks to have good coverage across the entire event. A 2 Meter HT and a charged battery are all you'll really need, and a gain antenna and spare battery would be even better! The Date is Saturday June 20th, and the location is Cathedral Camp at 167 Middleboro Road in East Freetown, MA. Its' easy to get to and a LOT of fun. The event sponsor provides T-Shirts and a nice catered meal at the end of the event. The 3 different race legs are usually finished and the course cleared by mid-afternoon, but if you can only stay a few hours, we'd love your help on one of the early parts of the course. This is a good sized event and brings in hundreds of athletes from the region to compete. The Ham Radio ops are an important part to keeping the event running smooth and safe. Please contact me at: n1joy@arrl.net if you plan to attend. The full event information can be found at: *http://www.patriottriathlon.com/ SEE YA!!

There are some good lessons online that will help you understand Winlink 2000 at http://www.winlink2000.org and joining the Winlink 2000 Yahoo group. Winlink 2000 is a worldwide radio messaging system that takes advantage of the Internet where possible. It does this in order to allow the end-user more radio spectrum on the crowded spectrum. Winlink 2000 has an interesting history that may be worth reviewing. Currently, there are more than 15,000 radio users on all the classes of users and approximately 100,000 Internet recipients. Monthly traffic averages over 150,000 messages or 280,000 minutes. Each message has an average duration of approximately 3.4 minutes and each message averages approximately 3,200 bytes. The Pactor 1, 2 and 3 protocols are used on HF, and AX.25 Packet, D-Star and 802.11 are used on VHF/UHF. Growth of the system is dependent on the various classes of users, including normal Amateur use, emergency communications organizations such as the ARRL ARES? and RACES, the UK Cadet forces, the three MARS branches, and others. Most recently there has been an increasing interest in emergency communications, and the Winlink 2000 development team has responded by adding features and functions that make the system more reliable, flexible and redundant. The role of Winlink 2000 in emergency communications is to supplement existing methodologies to add another tool in the toolkit of the volunteer services deploying emergency communications in their communities. I will be installing a Kam + into the HAMCOW which will be used for APRS, VHF Winlink 2000 Airmail, and HF Winlink 2000 Airmail.. We will have this setup for FD and I will be happy to demonstrate and answer any question. If you are interested in setting up you station to receive Airmail let me know and I will do what I can help and answer any questions. 73 Dave W2DAN
