WINLINK is the channel direct to California's state EOC, and is the only channel they actually support, so we are developing ways we can locally use packet and radio to reach a WINLINK RMS which can route the traffic beyond that. Although practically I understand the challenges, I'm not day-to-day involved on WINLINK infrastructure. I would say our local WINLINK node is in a very experimental condition, yet it's up 24/7 and it works, so it's easy to test.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- - - - - -</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Our emcomm prep here has broadened greatly over the last two years.
