Bruce If I may - here is one of the so called email that you referred to. this message was from a ham at sea from last week. It looked just like a message from the ARRL system. look at all of hams at sea there at this URL http://winlink.org/positions/PosReports.aspx This message text just said: Should arrive Sydney within 48 hours on the 8th. Addressed St. Paul, MN phone number e mail address. Just like a ARRL message it has an email address attached just in case that last station is not close and will not have to make a toll call. Can you tell me why you think that all the messages passed on the winlink system is email? Why do I feel that you have *never* copied any of this traffic and are just going by what you read or have been told? That's too bad because neither have the people you have been listing too.
