WaveTalkers Curated Ham Radio, Emergency Communications, Preparedness, and Deployment gear that we use and love. We are sorting through Amazon to find the most helpful equipment that has proven itself in the field to save you time and money. Check it out our new Affiliate Shop on Amazon.

This week the WaveTalkers Crews dives into the details of setting a HF Winlink Gateway with VARA HF. We will cover basic configurations of RMS Trimode, the key application that you will need to operate a HF Winlink Gateway. We will explore how to select an operating frequency, testing connections to the CMS, and explore common tools for evaluating your own HF Gateway operation.

Our goal is to make this episode Helpful to ALL Winlink Operators by helping you better understand how HF Winlink Gateways operate. We will present the information I wish I had learned when I first started to pass traffic on VARA HF Winlink Gateways. If you are considering operating HF Winlink or are planning on setting up or supporting a HF Winlink Gateway then you will certainly want to to tune in.

To become a VARA HF Winlink SysOp, we will assume you are already an experienced HF operator and have Winlink operating with your ham radio and your Windows PC using VARA HF. Although not required, we strongly recommend operators begin with a VHF/UHF Winlink Gateway to gain initial experience as a Winlink SysOp AND become comfortable operating on HF before embarking on setting up a HF Winlink Gateway.

The basic HF Winlink Gateway hardware we will be configuring includes:

Radio: Icom 7300
Computer: BeeLink Windows 10 PC
Antenna: Chameleon EmComm III Portable
Thanks to Chameleon Antennas for suppling the antenna.
If you missed Episode 57 or 58, please check it out on our YouTube Channel as we will be building on the information we walked through in those episodes

We will wrap up Episode 59 with an after party for all of those joining us in the Zoom. We would love hear about your Winlink Gateway Plans.

Thank you for joining us our this journey into ham radio and emergency communications.
