Key Benefits
-
sending
and receipt of email messages by anyone in the world to and
from Amateur Radio Operators with Winlink email addresses, including those
at sea, thus allowing travelers to stay in regular contact with family and
friends;
-
filing of Position Reports
(latitude, longitude and place names) by travelers from wherever they are in
the world at sea or on land, and for their family and
friends to obtain this location from Winlink by email or view the traveler's
location on maps or charts on the Internet;
-
downloading
weather reports, in text and graphic format, showing weather
conditions ahead at sea or on land - a great safety feature; and

sending
and receiving emergency reports under conditions where voice
and even Morse code communications would fail. This important safety feature
allows the traveler to report problems while underway and, equally important,
it allows family and friends to inform the traveler about emergencies at home.
