Amateur Radio Safety Foundation, Inc.

Winlink Global Radio Email®️ is an all-volunteer project of the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation, Inc. (ARSFI), a non-profit public benefit corporation with no beneficial owners.

Please give to ARSFI if you use Winlink radio email or correspond regularly with someone who does. By donating $25 each year you will do your part to improve this system and keep it running. Donations are tax-deductible by most US federal taxpayers. This is the best way to say "thank you" to Winlink volunteers! You can also purchase a registration key for your Winlink Express software. That's different than a donation! And is another way to contribute.

And when you shop Amazon, use smile.amazon.com and choose ARSFI as your charity. Amazon donates 0.5% of your purchases to ARSFI. Same Amazon, same prices! Painless!

Outstanding Volunteers

It's important to recognize that the Winlink system is run by volunteers who put in a lot of time and effort to keep it running smoothly. The most important volunteers, called "Gateway Station Sysops," support and run over a thousand stations that serve the radio network worldwide. Without them, Winlink wouldn't be possible. If you use Winlink radio email, be sure to thank the sysops who help you by sending them an email to their [email protected].

Other volunteers attend daily to tasks such as maintaining the Winlink website, e-mail groups, tutorial groups, user accounts, software registrations, access rights, network assets, catalog and bulletin updates, testing and debugging, writing independent software products and tools, and much more. The Winlink Development Team also receives generous technical input and contributions from other authors and developers. We want to thank all the volunteers for their hard work and dedication, as well as the contributions made by other authors and developers. They make an invaluable contribution to the Winlink system. Bravo!
