On Thursday, January 18th, I discovered that the Winlink APRSLink callsign is now WLNK rather than WLNK-1.
Here’s how …
My APRSLink login attempt through WLNK-1 (over VHF) failed so I switched to APRSDroid (over TCP/IP) to rule out an iGate/digi issue.
When I started APRSDroid I received a “message waiting” notice from WLNK instead of the expected WLNK-1.
So I sent my APRS messages to WLNK and was able to login over both VHF and TCP/IP.
This callsign change has not been mentioned at https://winlink.org/APRSLink

Forgot to mention that I was using APRSLink to check-in to the FediFridayWinlinkNet
The APRSLink callsign reverted to WLNK-1 around February 3rd.
Edit: Found the approximate reversion date
