  9. WL2K Establishing WL2K Capability at home • If you have e-mail capability – just add an @winlink.org e-mail account. • No additional hardware required - Only a ham radio license. • Use existing e-mail client (i.e. Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) • Establishing an @winlink.org account may be done in a few easy steps. • For the computer-challenged, step-by-step instructions are available on the Winlink For Dummies Yahoo Group. • The Yahoo Group will be replaced with a WL2K For Dummies Forum on the Winlink web site in March. • Use the Winlink account via the internet – just like the commercial account. • Later, add a TNC, radio, and antenna – and enjoy E-Mail over Radio. • Local radio links use 1200 baud or 9.6kb packet on VHF/UHF. • Long range links use Pactor on HF. • New HF sound card mode “WINMORE” will be introduced this year.

  10. NORTH FLORIDA EMERGENCY PLAN THE REVISED SECTION EMERGENCY PLAN MAY: • Recognize the value in service of providing complex messaging capability to support EMAs and other served agencies. • Recognize that e-mail messaging is the common denominator for world-wide messaging. • Recognize that e-mail is more efficient than typical Ham Radio means for record message transfer. • Adopt the WL2K E-mail Over Radio system as the primary method for transferring and exchanging complex messages for EMCOMMs - when other methods of data transmission are not otherwise available due to infrastructure or traffic issues. • Require all ARES appointees at EC level and above have a Winlink.org e-mail account. • Recommend local ARES groups establish WL2K accounts and capability at EOCs and other fixed served agency sites and for tactical support such as incident command. • Recommend that e-mail messaging for ARES planning and discussion utilize the WL2K e-mail accounts.

  11. NORTH FLORIDA EMERGENCY PLAN THE REVISED SECTION EMERGENCY PLAN WILL: • Recommend ARES members: - Establish WL2K E-mail accounts at home. - Be trained or gain experience in basics of WL2K E-Mail over Radio. - Include WL2K E-mail over Radio in go-kits. For those with WL2K go-kit capability – • Require certification in WL2K E-mail over Radio prior to deployment outside local area of jurisdiction. • Establish certification process which will include successful demonstration of WL2K E-Mail over Radio using go-kit. This will consists of sending one e-mail through local VHF RMS packet site and/or sending one e-mail through each of two RMS HF sites. • Certifications will not be processed during a declared emergency in the state of Florida or an event watch or warning. (Get’er Done Now!)

  12. NETWORK STATUS WINLINK 2000 WHAT’S NEXT? • Visit the Winlink 2000 website for more information. • Join WL2K for Dummies Yahoo Group, take the course, and establish your @winlink.org e-mail account. • In March look for WL2K For Dummies on the Winlink website. • Add radio capability to your Winlink account. • Support your local ARES group and establish and/or maintain a Packet LAN. • Use WL2K e-mail for routine communications with your ARES group members.
