Re: Field Day Winlink Message points questions

In 2021, I originated 11 Field Day Radiogram messages (1 to the SM and 10 to
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
other hams) and sent them, via emergency power RF (VHF), using Winlink to the RRI Winlink clearing house for Region 5. RRI injected these messages into the NTS and they were delivered as regular Radiograms to the eleven individuals. I got FD bonus points for all of them. I had to submit all of the Radiogram texts to the ARRL with my log files. This youtube illustrates part of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NtDyRF7N_w I haven't read the rules for this year yet...maybe it's different. 73 Ron

Bill, Which points are we talking about? I plan to send Email to get the points. The Questions. 1. Does formal message mean ARRL Info Gram (Amateur Radio RADIOGRAM Text Creator)? As far as ARRL FD Goes yes Formal traffic means generating a Radio Gram message which is sent by either CW, Phone, RTTY or any other RADIO Mode 2. Does formal message mean Email? No. Unless you are sending that email in RadioGram format and it is generated from the ARRL FD location via Radio WinLink via Win Vara would work 3. Does Formal message have some secret meaning that we are supposed to guess? ARRL Radio Gram New thought: 4. Is Winlink a digital mode? No for the context of a Mode for ARRL FD they are talking about FT8, RTTY, FLDIGI, AMTOR 5. Are P2P contacts allowed for Field day points? You maen for QSO points, NO. 6. Is there a regional or state list of possible Winlink sites available for P2P on Field day? No and I doubt it would serve the purpose you have in mind 7. I can send Email and Receive a reply via winlink should that be a contact? No an email regardless off how sent and received is not a valid RADIO contact Sending and receiving email if if over Win VARA (WinLink) does not count as a QSO for points in ARRL FD 73 Steve KG5VK Steven Lott Smith Tele 318-470-9806ARRL NTX Section Manager Please note: My Out Going Email address is LottsPhoto@...
