Hi.
I have my TM-V71A hooked up to EchoLink, and it's used to link repeaters in
an emergency situation. Occasionally people will connect to it to
communicate.
I personally think EchoLink is nice for what it is, which is to let hams
communicate with each other in ideal situations. However, I agree with the
those who say it's not the real thing. I really hope the ARRL doesn't take
away the DXCC awards for the HF bands. By the way I think you can get this
award using satellites.
Just my thoughts.
GO REDS!
