EXERCISE, EXERCISE

Sometimes you need a generic form. That's what this week will use.
Start a new message and select Standard Templates > GENERAL Forms > Customizable Form.
This form is also in Standard Templates > ICS USA Forms > Customizable Form in Winlink Express.
You can roll your own or do a to-do list of sorts for a hamfest or parade that your club supports.
The row marked # is a row of column labels. Call each column whatever suits you.
Fill at least 3 rows.

Enter any "Sender's Comments or Additional Information" you wish, beginning with "EXERCISE, EXERCISE".
End your message with your
call sign, first name, city or town, county, state, mode (Winlink HF, VARA FM, VHF packet, etc.)
Save a copy for later if you wish, then click "Submit" and follow the prompts.

In the message composition window, make sure "Send As:" is set to Winlink Message.
Check "Request message receipt" if you wish a confirmation message.
Set "To:" to WB0GAG or IAWINLINKSAT. Add any others you would like to receive the message.
Set "Subject:" to Iowa Winlink Saturday.

When you are satisfied with the message, click "Post to Outbox".

Send as normal. If you have no radio capability yet, use telnet.
