<p>Hay Maiko,</p>
<p> So in order to stay listed as an available RMS gateway you
need to report home (every 30 mins possibly). If you don't send
the updates you never appear on the list that you get on Winlink
express, PAT etc that shows you the nearest gateway to your
location.</p>
<p>Click on "RMS List" and then select "packet" here -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.winlink.org/RMSChannels">https://www.winlink.org/RMSChannels</a> and you'll see the list I am
talking about.<br>
</p>
<p>G8BPQ has a nice primer here -

</p>
<p>There's an example here with this project <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/rmsgw"><
https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/rmsgw ></a> that has some scripts
that run every 30 mins to update winlink.org. (rmsgw_aci &
'updatesysop.py)</p>
<p>But basically there's a blob of data sent to api.winlink.org
every x mins that includes "Callsign, Locator, Hours, Freq, Mode,
Power, Ant Height, Ant Gain, Ant Direction"</p>
<p>If you are not changing modes and frequencies... this sounds like
a simple script run by an AT command or even just a cronjob. But I
am probably over simplifying things.<br>
