According to the OMs in our area, real ham radio is HF. So we're good.

Geochron is a complete appliance.

Ham Clock is a DIY project.

Exactly, that is not communication like ham radio though

What passes for communication in ham radio is usually just long winded monologuing. Which isn't a conversation.

 

It seems to be down.

As fas as the mainstream media (M5M) are concerned, ham radio doesn’t exist. All I’ve heard about are heroic efforts to distribute Starlink terminals.

As past FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, KK4INZ, said in Ham Radio Now Emcomm Extra #8, when an incident occurs “they just want their email to work.”

On Thursday, January 18th, I discovered that the Winlink APRSLink callsign is now WLNK rather than WLNK-1.

Here's how ...

My APRSLink login attempt through WLNK-1 (over VHF) failed so I switched to APRSDroid (over TCP/IP) to rule out an iGate/digi issue.

When I started APRSDroid I received a "message waiting" notice from WLNK instead of the expected WLNK-1.

So I sent my APRS messages to WLNK and was able to login over both VHF and TCP/IP.

This callsign change has not been mentioned at https://winlink.org/APRSLink
