As you know Winlink is a very important tool in the volunteer emergency communicator toolbox. We want to get South Carolina on the map. The challenge is to send a Winlink message as explained here, every Wednesday before midnight. And we can get South Carolina on the map. This training task is coordinated by Mark Goddard, KN4KRZ, goddard.mw@gmail.com
How? Send a Winlink message to KN4LQN as formatted below. Send the message in any mode including Telnet, VARA FM, VARA HF, or any others.
To: KN4LQN
Subject: Winlink Wednesday Check-In
Message body: call sign, first name, city or town, county, state (HF or VHF, etc.)
Your message will look something like mine below. Except, of course, with your information in the message:
Then, check back on Thursday, May 17 to see your callsign’s place marker on this week’s map.

Here’s a screenshot of results from yesterday’s (May 15th). Winlink Wednesday. It’s difficult to see some of the callsigns, so here’s a link in case you want to zoom in to see your specific area: https://www.qsl.net/kw4shp/
THANKS to everyone who checked in and contributed to this impressive increase from last week. If you missed this week, not to worry. You’ll have another opportunity next Wednesday, May 22nd.
Thanks and 73,
Mark
