For those who are already familiar with ShakeOuts and just need a short refresher on how to fill in the DYFI form: Winlink DYFI Exercise for Shakeout 2023. For members who would like to learn more about ShakeOuts, this is a video that’s a couple of years old but still valid: Shake Out - WaveTalkers LIVE (Episode 44) (starting at 10:31).
As always. be sure to update your Winlink application and forms.

Last but not least, the Windows Development Team (WDT)’s Google Group's mailing list is a valuable resource for all things Winlink. Team members give updates on the Winlink world and it’s the place where you can get help from people who bring us Winlink.
