It is likely I will revisit HRD in 15 years and see if its still the same. Now I get newsletters saying new features are available, and hearing that they only get turned on with a subscription. And the fantastic customer service? I have been referred numerous times to the on-line community from my ticket requests. It seems the emphasis is on making my Logbook into Baseball statistics, like Sabermetics. Its like a time machine, I have really tried to like it as much, but I fail to see any real upgrades. I recently purchased a license thinking I'd move up in the world. So I was one of the earlier users of HRD at really loved it circa 2002-2005. A non-profit charity, the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation, provides support for the system.This is an updated review in 2022, my 2004 review is below: Winlink operators, who have to be signed up to use the service, operate under a system that was built, operated and administered by ham volunteers. Email on the Winlink system can include attachments and also offers position reporting such as Automatic Position Reporting Service (APRS) reports as well as weather and information bulletins, emergency and relief communications and message relay. Winlink uses smart-network radio relays to send messages from one point to another. This allows ham radio to step in when routine systems are down in disaster and emergency situations and still perform a routine function - email. Winlink, also known by its service mark, Winlink Global Radio Email, and as the Winlink 2000 Network (or WL2K), basically is a worldwide messaging system that uses amateur radio frequencies, as well as government frequencies, to provide email capability automatically and independent of the internet. This has proven to be a great asset in amateur radio’s emergency communications tool chest. Another cool thing that hams do is to send email over ham radio in a system known as Winlink. Ham radio operators are known for doing cool things, like using ham radio to fly first-person view drones, transmitting TV signals and talking around the world on a handheld transceiver.
