    YRARC Winlink Wednesday will run every Wednesday from 00:00 to 23:59 not to be confused with the Canadian National Winlink Wednesday. 

    All that is required is to use the Check-In template form and specifically report how you have connected, e.g. Telnet, Packet, VARA, HF, ARDOP, etc. Please confirm which method you used to connect in the check-in email and also your equipment used, Radio, TNC, Soundcard, mode, Operating system, software client. Also if you use an RMS, please state which one worked for you. Winlink Express can be used to send the email, but also for LINUX users, please try out PAT at https://getpat.io/ . Please send your check in emails to me at VA3MCT. I will report back to all the next day on who checked in.
