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.
