Hi folks,<br><br>Three puzzles... I'm still trying to figure this stuff out; can you help?<br><br>We took a trip up to Washington State last week, and while sitting at a rest stop for a moment, I thought I'd try to "ping" the WinLink system. Sending the string "i" to wlnk-1 should result in the system replying with a version string and web address. My TH-D7 apparently sent it 4 times, over the span of a few minutes.<br><br>I got nothing back. {shrug} so much for that experiment...<br><br>Then when I got home, the following was waiting for me on my Xastir screen:<br><br>08/13 08:28 WLNK-1 >(Sent to:KO6TH-7) APRSLink v2.8.8.0 www.winlink.org/aprslink fo<br>08/13 08:29 WLNK-1 >(Sent to:KO6TH-7) APRSLink v2.8.8.0 www.winlink.org/aprslink fo<br>08/13 08:31 WLNK-1 >(Sent to:KO6TH-7) APRSLink v2.8.8.0 www.winlink.org/aprslink fo<br>08/13 08:35 WLNK-1 >(Sent to:KO6TH-7) APRSLink v2.8.8.0 www.winlink.org/aprslink fo<br><br>Puzzle #1: Why did the messages go out through my system at home in California, when I was somewhere in Oregon at the time?<br><br>Now I look for my messages on aprs-is (the "messages" screen on aprs.fi), and I see this:<br><br> <span class="raw_line" style="background-color: rgb(255, 219, 219);">2009-08-13 15:28:50 UTC: <b><a href="http://aprs.fi/?c=message&limit=&call=KO6TH-7">KO6TH-7</a></b>><b><a href="http://aprs.fi/?c=message&limit=&call=WLNK-1">WLNK-1</a></b>: i</span><br>
