MPORTANT NOTES:
1) Check-ins who do not use a VarAC EMAIL GATEWAY will not be counted.
2) You must be on V11.0.7 or greater. Be sure to check Send to Email in the VMAIL dialog box.
3) YOU DO NOT NEED AN EMAIL GATEWAY ON YOUR INSTALLATION OF VARAC TO CHECK IN! You will be using the GATEWAY of the beacon displaying the "link" icon that you connect with.
4) V11.2.0 is now available! Canned messages are now available in the VMAIL dialog box making participation in VarAC Wednesday even easier!

Band conditions aren't particularly good today. Please plan accordingly. I was able to get my VarAC Wednesday message through quite easily, but I've been unable to find a Winlink station to participate in Winlink Wednesday. Hopefully. the band will get better as the day goes on.
