General Notes on Frequently-Seen Mistakes... Please Read!:

General Notes:

We see many of the same mistakes being repeated week after week, across different exercise types, so we think it’s worthwhile to call these out.

Sending incorrect longitude and latitude data

We use the latitude and longitude data to plot you onto maps. Sometimes that map data is obviously incorrect. This occurs when folks in the Western Hemisphere omit the minus sign in front of longitude or when folks in the Southern Hemisphere omit the minus sign in front of latitude.
The use of a GPS dongle helps to mitigate against this. If you’re not using a GPS dongle, do take extra care in copying/pasting or entering those numbers

Incorrect format when answering a multiple choice question

When we ask a multiple choice question on a Winlink Check In message, we require the answer to be in a specific format: a single character, uppercase letter on the first line of the Comments field. We don’t want any punctuation before or after that single letter. We don’t want an explanation. We just want a single letter.
Here’s a partial list of answers that we consider “not valid”:
  • B is the answer
  • The answer is B
  • “B”
  • B.
Providing real-time tactical digital communications in conjunction with a map showing the locations of stations

Not sending to an ETO clearinghouse

We use a group of volunteers to act as the “Clearinghouses” for most exercises. The purpose of the Clearinghouses is to divide the work that we do to process your messages. Each Clearinghouse has a specific Winlink tactical address: ETO-01 through ETO-10 (corresponding to USA FEMA regions), plus ETO-DX for non-US participants and ETO-CAN for Canada.
If you don’t address your message to one of these tactical addresses, we won’t receive your message.
Even though some Winlink Templates, such as the Winlink Check In, allow you to address your message directly from the message itself, we strongly discourage this. Instead, we would strongly encourage you to create a Winlink “contact” for your clearinghouse.
Then, after you hit the [Submit] button on the template, click on the [To:] button and select your clearinghouse contact.
Yes, it’s a bit more work to set up, but once you have it correctly set up, you will not make an accidental mistake by entering “ETO-1”, or “ETO-O1” ( with a letter "O" next to the "1" ) when you meant to enter “ETO-01” ("eee-tee-ohh-dash-zero-one").

Part Two: Peer-to-Peer Exercise Results

Notes about the Peer-to-Peer August 20th Exercise [click to expand]
The exercise was for "Field" stations (blue) to retrieve messages from "Target" stations (red) via VARA-HF.
The Target stations created the messages based on other messages received by the Targets during the 2022-08-18 "Winlink Thursday".
We had 188 Field stations and 30 Target stations participating. Thanks to all! Of those 188 Field stations, 158 connected and downloaded their messages from at least one of their "reserved" Target station, in spite of the poor propagation conditions and concurrent contests.
The exercise encouraged each Field station to "choose wisely" the Target stations that they would plan to connect to. Besides tallying the number of "completions" and number of "reservations" (and hence a completion percentage), we also computed a "completion score" as follows: completion percentage times number of completions.
For example, 2 completions divided by 4 reservations gives a completion percentage of 50% and a completion score of 1.00, while 4 completions from 8 reservations also gives a percentage of 50%, but a completion score of 2.00.
We had 67 stations achieve a 100% completion percentage.
The highest completion score was 6.04 and 121 Field stations achieved a score of at least 1.00. Well planned and well executed.
Any uploads by Field stations to Target stations were not recorded. Similarly, if a Target station hadn't generated a P2P message for the Field station before contact, that too would not be recorded.

Results from 2022-05-05 Exercise: Additional Notes
This week’s exercise featured a Winlink Check In message with a multiple choice question. We had 724 participants send us 757 messages, including 718 Check In messages. We rejected 33 messages from the main map:
  • 24 were “duplicate” messages, sent by the same call from the same location
  • 6 were unsupported/unrecognized messages (ACK messages, etc.)
  • 3 were messages with explicitly bad locations (missing minus sign in front of longitude)
We asked a question, drawn from the US NCVEC pool. We did “shuffle” the correct answer along with the three distractors.
When we ask a question as part of a question, the goal is not to teach you radio theory, or to prepare you to pass a ham radio license exam, or how to search the Internet for “the correct answer”.
We ask questions because we want you to read and follow the instructions on how to answer the question.
We are dealing with Emergency Communications ("EmComm") and following the instructions of our Served Agencies is of paramount importance. Your Served Agency will often have specific instructions that they expect you to follow.
Those instructions might already be familiar to you or they might contradict your previous training, including the training that you get from EmComm-Training.org. In all cases, follow the instructions of your Served Agency.
For this week, the question was “Which of the following is an application of APRS?” and the correct answer was
“B — Providing real-time tactical digital communications in conjunction with a map showing the locations of stations”.
From the 718 Winlink Check In Messages:
  • 686 (95.54%) provided the correct answer
  • 26 (3.62%) provided an incorrect answer
  • 6 (0.84%) were considered “not valid” because they weren’t single letter responses
  • Of the 26 incorrect responses, 21 were A (Showing automatically the number of packets transmitted via PACTOR during a specific time interval) and 5 were C (Providing information on the number of stations signed into a repeater).
Given that the correct answer was A in the NCVEC pool, it’s reasonable to assume that some portion just went to the NCVEC pool and copied the letter without considering the questions and potential answers as written in the instructions.

Agency/Group name

In the Part 2 instructions, step 5 instructed you to click on the [Setup] button and step 6 instructed you to enter “ETO Winlink Thursday”.
We had 592 (82%) provide exactly the response that we requested.
The remainder had variations on “ETO Winlink Thursday” or completely different Group/Agency.
This Agency/Group name is definitely something that your Served Agency will want according to their specific instructions.
The upcoming “Operation Ashfall” has a specific requirement for this field and we are considering including this field as part of the grading for our weekly exercises.

Status

The Part 2 instructions, Step 7a states to set Status to Exercise and 718 (97.9%) of you did.
The remaining 15 (2.1%) set Status to Net. Again, we are considering including this field as part of the grading for our weekly exercises, so read and follow exercise instructions.

Band

The chart shows the variety of bands that the participants used to connect to their local RMS gateways.
The “—N/A—” slice reflects participants who use Telnet.
Mastering Winlink Express using Telnet is still very valuable both to the individual participants as well as to their Served Agencies.
We don’t and won’t always have access to a radio during our exercises, so Telnet is a great way to participate.
What’s encouraging to us, is that so many of us use HF. What’s surprising to us is how much more VHF is used compared to UHF.

The ETO Team

May 5th Assignment
Instructions: In this week's Winlink Thursday, for May 5th, 2022, you will:
  • Answer a question that we selected, from the 2022-2026 US NCVEC Technician Class Pool.
  • Send a Winlink Check-in form to your ETO Clearinghouse.

Results from 2022-04-28 Exercise: An Explanation...

As you probably noticed, we (ETO) didn’t publish any maps or results for the 2022-04-28 exercise. The exercise requested that you to:
  • compose a Position Report in Winlink Express
  • while the message was still in the Outbox, add the address of your regular ETO clearinghouse.
In previous weeks, we’ve been averaging around 700 participants.
However, for the 04-28 exercise, we received less than 100 messages. There are at least three explanations for this:
  • Some of you might have chosen not to participate in the exercise.
  • Some of you might have composed and sent a Position Report without including your ETO clearinghouse as an addressee.
  • Some of you might have composed a Position Report, included the clearinghouse as an addressee and we never received the message. This would seem to be a failure of the Winlink CMS System.
Alas, we’ve had numerous reports from both participants as well as ETO team members that their messages were never received. Because of this unknown and unknowable number of delivery failures, we’ve decided not to publish any of the results.
We have engaged with the Winlink Development Team to help them track down this issue.
Regards,
The ETO Team
