Final Notes
- Keep messages and attachments as small as possible when using Winlink over RF.
- A 10kb message will take ~5-10 minutes on average to send after the gateway handshake. A 1MB picture will take several hours to send over VHF, and over a day to complete over HF.
- For an example, an 30kb attachment took 50 minutes to download on VHF using the W6BA digipeater.
- Keep polling intervals short.
- A RF RMS gateway handshake takes approximately 45 seconds.
- You can use software such as Paclink to link existing e-mail clients to the Winlink network.
