[FEATURE] WINLINK - Add Gateways and Active Hams - This would be part of a larger section for EmComm

[auroraonlineinc]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

This could be the begging for an EmComm section that incorporates Winlink. Winlink is the standard platform for emergency communications.

Describe the Solution You'd Like

It would be similar to WSJT-X or POTA but would be part of a layer called EmComm
Winlink does have a map at the following URL
https://winlink.org/RMSChannels?qt-live_winlink_information=0#qt-live_winlink_information
Additionally we could incorporate the live traffic.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

Nothing exists at this moment

Use Case

How would this feature benefit amateur radio operators? Be specific about the use case:

• [ x] General HF operation
• [x ] VHF/UHF operation
• Satellite operation
• Contesting
• POTA/SOTA
• DXing
• [ x] Emergency communications
• Other: ___________

Would you be willing to help implement this?

• Yes, I can submit a PR
• [x ] Yes, I can help test
• No, but I'd use it!

I noticed three stations in the EmComm layout. Are these just hand coded for display purposes or is there a way I can push ours up?

[accius]

this is not hand coded, there should be info on how emcomm is currently working in the readme. and i think that there is a readme specifically for emcomm but i could be wrong.

[auroraonlineinc]

I took a look at the readme file for EmComm. The described method is Send: EMCOMM Message: CQ NETNAME yourcallsign I have tried this but my call sign does not show up on the Emcomm map, so I am wondering if the stations that are being show have something in their usual beaconing signature. Open for suggestions

[accius]

are you doing this in staging or on the openhamclock main release?

[accius]

also win link is still not active as we are still waiting on api access
