The Salvation Army emergency team radio network (SATERN) is working on setting up a simplex winlink gateway. This Station is situated in Abbotsford, BC. The site has a back generator at the EOC for the Salvation Army in BC. The site has Kenwood TMV 71 with a TNC-X. The computer is a XP desktop box running BPQ32 software. The station in time will gradually had HF winmor to the mix. (or Pactor if funding comes)
I have had two persons check back with me letting me know my station is working, Both on 20 meters using Pactor. If I could get a few more to let me know everything is okay I would appreciate it. I seem to be getting a lot less activity on my station than before the lighting strike and I just want to make sure there are no problems. I would hate to have the station running just to find out later that everyone that has tried to connect with me can't.
My station info is this:
Call W5WSR in Lake Jackson, Texas about 50 miles south of Houston.
