Welcome to Week #74.
 
It’s been quite a while since we’ve done any images.
We’ll be sending an JPEG attached to a Winlink Check-in Form.

 For an image: If at all possible, go out in the field and snap a picture of a local bridge or dam.  This can add another layer of realism to the exercise. If you can’t get out to take your own picture, you can use one off the internet.
Fill out the Winlink Check-in form as you normally would. Then… 

To attach your picture to the Winlink Check-in form…
1) Click on the Attach button.  

2) Click on “Add” and find the JPEG file of your bridge or dam. The Size Field will probably be RED because this file is too big. Winlink messages must be less than 120KB. Click the “Edit/resize – image” button. You may Crop the image before resizing, but Cropping is not necessary to reduce the size of image file. Select (highlight) the JPEG file, click on the “Resize” button and enter in the “Desired size” field 25 (KB). Click “Change size”. Click “Save”. Click “Save changes” You are back to the Attach window, click “Finished” and you are back to the Message window.

 3) Please send to SNJOEM and Cc: yourself at a non-Winlink email address. (to see what the finished product looks like) 


Have fun!
