Looking for more information on installed Winlink assets for the Texas RMS Status website

Our ARRL Director John Robert Stratton has requested information on hospitals with amateur radio installations in hospitals.

The spreadsheet that feeds the Texas RMS status website has a column to track an associated agency with a given station. Right now, the central Texas hospital agency CATRAC is the only agency we have so labled.

Here is my request: If you have a piece of gear listed on the Texas RMS Winlink website installed at an agency location, please send me the station name - like W2MN-13 and an agency name - short abbreviations are preferred.

We will modify the webpage to allow selecting all stations associated with a particular agency or a list of all stations with any agency.

This feature was added to allow our central Texas hospital entity known as CATRAC to see the status of their installations at a glance and this might be useful for your area if we extend this capability and to show others all the agency related stations in the state.

Thanks for your help!
