FEEDBACK:
We need more involvement in Winlink P2P here in Georgia so help spread the word to hams in your local area about this new training opportunity. Participants do not need to be previously involved in ARES at any level nor be GAARES members. All stations are welcome to participate. Always feel free to contact me with any comments, suggestions or corrections. I am happy to get the feedback. Email me at [email protected] or post at [email protected]
