Hi Linda,

One of the beauties of echo link is it makes repeaters from everywhere
available to a broad audience.  For example, the AB0DX repeater in eastern
Iowa has a net every Monday evening at 7:00 pm central time.  It isn't
uncommon for them to have check ins from the UK and other places.  Don't be
afraid to try out some of these that you see on the list.

Hi Linda,
you can access any of the repeaters that show up on your list.  Some will
list the location of the repeater and or the frequency.  You can chat on
echolink repeaters throughout the world.  Finding which repeaters are active
in your area can be difficult.  You need to contact the repeater trustee or
the owner to find out if it has echolink connection to it.  73.  Gary KB2YAA

Hi all,



Since I am still new at this What is the best way to determine what
repeaters I can access on echo link?



I look in the locations section and the different areas and I did find one
repeater in new port richey, and was able to transmit and receive on it
Sunday night easter Sunday. But there is technical issues now on it-and I am
awaiting for this to be remedied.



In the meantime, I want to see what else is out there and its sort of hard
to determine which repeaters to access.



Thanks,



Hugs and 73
