@linuxwebguy I would say yes. Traditionally a “contact” requires 4 pieces of correctly exchanged information by both stations - call sign, signal report, QTH, and name.
Got a Winlink email from @KG5GJT in New Orleans. Power & internet are out, possible tree damage to residence, unable to assess due to flying debris and high wind. On generator power. Worst hasn't hit yet but they're doing ok.
#Winlink got this message out when all else is down.
@jmp_65 Yes sir, will send you some pics this evening when I get home. I used neodymium magnets off of old name tags. They are incredibly strong and spaced perfectly.
