Winlink Story – Exercise

Group of Winlink users:

Have a little fun exercising your Winlink capabilities by participating in this month’s Winlink exercise.

We (you) will help write a story by adding a line to the received email and forwarding it on to the next person on the list.

For example, you will receive a message on Winlink that has a list of call signs of the participating group in a column on the left, and a story developing from that which will look like:

N0AXZ – Once upon a time in a faraway ether-space there was an amateur radio operator who

KC0EZE

K0PHP

K0MIZ

.

.

.

.

.

.

This message would be received by KC0EZE and he would add a line to the story and forward the message to K0PHP. K0PHP would add a line and forward it to K0MIZ, etc. etc. etc.…

The last person on the list will add the ending and forward that back to me. I will then send the story out to all you who participated to see what kind of Winlink story we produce. This is without the use of any Artificial Intelligence - AI! Just use Winlink to read the mail, add yours and forward to another ham.

I will ask you not to use any political, religious, or otherwise objectionable prose.

If I start this on Wednesday afternoon, depending on how many players we get, we may have it completed by Thursday PM. I will need a list of players by Wednesday (3/15) morning and we will be ready to go.

You will have to connect to your favorite Winlink Node to see if you have mail waiting, and until you do get email you are in the waiting stage. Keep checking until you get the message, then add your line and forward it to the next on the list. I will publish the group and order when I get all the volunteers on CMRA email, and you can see if you will be early or later on the list.

So if you are interested in using Winlink in this creative project, send me an email and stand by.

Questions could be accommodated at the CMRA meeting next Tuesday. We had 20 Winlink users for the last SET. How many will we get for this story?
