Please share this with all Amateurs in your Jurisdictions.



Whether you are already convinced about Winlink or not – a presentation by Ollie, K6OLI , about VARA FM is always a must see.



Even if you have no clue what “Winlink” is. – the hour will be well spent as a real world orientation to some of the best of what Amateur Radio can share with their local Authorities Having Jurisdiction to prevent depth and resiliency to their emergency communications.



If you can – I would also invite representatives from your AHJs & ask that they ID by their first name & Agency (or your callsign with “ /3” if they prefer) if they don’t have an Amateur callsign.



Cheers & 73,

A Voice OF Freedom

These Sentinels stand for decades, their wires unleashed a power to those under oppression.  It reached out to millions who listened in on shortwave radios in Europe and Asia their ears intently filtering out the static and jamming noises to hear messages from a free land. These Centurions still standing fought a battle against adversary transmitters

 trying to block those messages of hope and justice.

Voices from America, Classical music , Jazz and Rock and Roll weakened a wall in Germany the free spirit of America the communist adversary had no answer.

May these Sentinels stand for decades more, waiting for the call. Fragile cell phone and internet infrastructure has to be strengthened, till then they wait. We will remember these structures of freedom who broadcasted the culture of America, the institutions of America the creativity and technological innovations of America. From those wires gracefully draped on these towers.
