Question. One can talk to local hams via repeaters. How does one connect with a ham who is outside the local repeater area? Also could someone just do a brief thing on echolink, what it is and how its used? I know I can find out at the lcoal ham club but I will miss the next meeting and am just curious to know before I go away for a week of skiing. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* If you think somethings bad, try it again and see.
