WinLink Test for Off Grid Emergency Communications

Hello Operators Last weekend I participated in the in an ham radio grid down emergency communications exercise called ILMI 2017. This was similar to emergency training carried out by the ARRL and ARES in North America. The event forced me to ask about off grid operations for emergency communications, using low power and small compromise hf antennas with WinLink radio email. So the video is as much of a test on WinLink, as it is an antenna test while QRP portable. For the first test we use the Yaesu FT-817nd, and Super Antenna MP1, in Lazy L configuration. In the second test, we use the Yaesu FT-817ND and Chameleon F-LOOP, magnetic loop antenna. Both tests were carried out using 5 watts. Testing station capabilities is a huge part of ham radio emergency communications. We need testing and training to understand what works, and what doesn't, for operators running low power with a less than ideal antenna. Connecting to distant #WinLink RMS gateways, using qrp power and a small antenna is critical training, if we expext to use this gear during an actual grid down scnatrio. We are not always going to have the ideal "contest station" with perfect antenna systems in place for exery scenario. Taking a minumal approach is a sound ideal and excellent practice. IMLI Training scenario video:    • WinLink Grid Down Emergency Communications...   Winlink is a worldwide radio messaging system using amateur-band radio frequencies to provide radio messaging services including email with attachments, position reporting, weather bulletins, emergency relief communications, and message relay. The system is built and administered by volunteers and administered by the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation Inc. I'll follow-up this video with the ILMI 2017 video.
