Hello Operators
Todays topic is Ham Radio for preppers, or perhaps ham radio for preparedness would be a better title. Either way, this video demonstrates how i send or receive winlink Email to a GMail email account. This is a great and cost effective alternative to sailmail Email over HF Radio system.
In this first episode, we look at using winlink email and ham radio to communicate with people who may not be ham radio operators themselves. We do this while being completely off grid ourselves.
