I participate in the NHDN group weekly and once every 5 weeks as NCS. NH encourages it ARES participants to join a SKYWARN net on DMR (VHF/UHF) on Thursday evening on the SKYWARN Talk Group for more detail see. We get a reply message indicating who has checked in. The WinLink Net has us send a special WinLink formatted message to a NCS once a week: Wednesday from 6AM to 6PM. Most gateways now use the VARA modem in one of its three forms in either free or licensed forms. A special program, WinLink Express, is used via telnet or one of a variety of radio modems. gateway stations are available on HF, VHF, and satellite with higher bandwidth being available on higher frequencies. Accounts last for 90 days from last access, so it is important to check in frequently to be have a usable account in the event of an emergency. That station will either send the e-mail via the internet (if directed) or store the message in a “cloud” so that it can be picked up by a calling station. A station in an emergency area without communications sends their e-mail via radio to one of the gateway stations that it can contact somewhere in the world. It relies on gateway stations that still have power and internet connectivity. WinLink serves as a pickup place for mail consisting of text, images, etc. The third is a WinLink “net.” WinLink consists of a number of store and forward stations (s&f) or gateways that rely on a central internet hub. Consider joining it particularly since you are in the Upper Valley area. For more information on NH ARES, see for information on its organization, frequencies, plans, etc. It meets weekly Saturday at 0830 to 0900 on 3.976 MHz and conducts practice of sending and receiving short voice messages. The second is a NH ARES section voice net. The group will be happy to help you get configured properly. These are available for free at under an FLDIGI search. You will need FLDIGI, FLMSG, and FLAMP at a minimum. The net has a checkin session on 3.582 MHz USB with an offset of 1500 Hz each Saturday at 0700 local time. However we have used ODFM(?) and other modes experimentally. Currently we use THOR22 or MFSK32 to transmit messages or images. The net has participants from all New England States as well as NY, NJ, and PA. We learn how to use the tools so we are prepared to communicate in the event of an emergency. It uses the FLDIGI suite of tools to pass or relay messages. The first is the NH Digital Training Net. There are at least three groups that practice preparing for emergency communications: two every Saturday morning and one every Wednesday.
