Hi Bill and the group,
To answer Bill's questions...  Yes I always connect to the K0SI RMS nodes either packet or HF when using Winlink.  (Except on one occasion I could not connect on the HF side so it was off to a station in Arkansas.)
Without changing antennas, I cannot connect to the K0SI packet node directly so I go thru the MEPN site MJEF Digipeter K0ETY-2.
I will post a second message titled "Florida Winlink Check-In" with that information.  It is truly simple.
73,  Jim
