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
