RAPPORT DE POSITION SUR WINLINK

Voici copie de l'avis que j'ai reçu de l'équipe de WINLINK

To all Winlink maritime users:

We have received reports that position reports you have posted through Winlink are not displayed on Shiptrak.org, Yachttrack.org and perhaps other services. In addition, the 14300.net Position Reporter and other web input tools used by net control operators to manually enter position reports from voice contacts are inoperative. If this affects you or others who need to keep track of your position and well-being, we want to explain.

Your position reports posted using RMS Express or Airmail go directly in to the Winlink system's database and are displayed using our web application, available from a link at http://www.winlink.org or http://www2.winlink.org:8081/maps/positionReports.aspx.
A history of one user's position reports can be viewed by using this variation:

Additionally, when you post a position or WX report, we echo it actively to MAROB (the US Weather Service marine weather report intake program), YOTREPS (http://www.pangolin.co.nz/yotreps_reporting_boat_list), and the APRS internet network (view at http://aprs.fi and on other APRS sites and software).

Winlink, YOTREPS, and APRS displays continue to work properly.

Independent services who pull or post positions from/to the Winlink database may temporarily miss data until their authors can make upgrades to their software. We recently upgraded our database interfaces for security, and although we have provided all upgrade technical information to the various third-party program authors not all have completed the needed changes. We have no control over these systems, but please be assured we are providing help to the authors who request our assistance, and are attempting to motivate their work. Keep in mind most are volunteers like ourselves.

Meanwhile, we encourage you and your correspondents to use the working display services mentioned above. We thank you for your tolerance of any service interruption our third-party partners have experienced.

The Winlink Development Team
