Not to mention the unreliability factor.  Take a look at Thailand I
think, with 90% of their main backbone affected  by undersea  cable cuts
breaks.

Hi;
Now I have seen everything.  I guess I'm showing my age.  Make believe
ham 
radio for only $32.00?
I suppose the no antenna required could have some appeal but why bother 
pretend radio.  If one wants a chat room go find one.  Who knows, in 50 
years folks might think that this is what ham radio was like back in the

"good old days".
I didn't have as much of a issue with echo link in that it was free but
real 
live ham radio it wasn't.  It did serve a limited purpose but I don't
think 
it tried to pass its self off as something as much fun as the real
thing.
