Hurricane Milton: Please Postpone Regular Winlink Nets
Date: Tue, Oct 8, 2024, 13:47
Subject: [winlink-programs-group] Please postpone regular Winlink Nets and testing during hurricane response
All–
The WDT is requesting that all non-essential Winlink traffic (weekly nets, testing, etc.) be postponed until after hurricane Milton has moved
on and response efforts have turned to recovery. There is still a lot of traffic in the aftermath of Helene, and we expect Milton will add
significantly to that. We need to keep the gateways clear for that traffic.
Thank you!

Community Service Events
The ARRL has changed it’s ARES Reporting categories for monthly reports
Community Service Event (CSE) is the new term for Amateur Radio support to parades, marathons, walks, etc.
Public Service Event (PSE) is now used for assistance given to Served Agencies such as EMA, Police, Fire, etc.
So, for example, support to the Xenia Marathon will be a CSE
Support for agencies during the Total Eclipse will be a PSE
As time goes on we will be updating this website to match the new terminology.
