I also enjoyed myself on the first ever Blind Hams Echolink net. Hope that 
we do it every week or as often as we can. Doug, N6NFF

Thanks for hooking your computer up so a number of us could talk via
echolink, and thanks Jim for running the net, a great first net!  73, Jim

Subject: Echolink conference for the list

The blind hams group has had HF nets on Saturday and Sunday for years and
now recently, we're trying the evening 40 meter get-togethers. Some list
members have requested an Echolink meeting for those who can't get on HF or
are to remote to reach the group given current propagation.



I run an Allstar repeater that also connects with Echolink. I've never had
more than 5 connections at a time but I recently revised the configuration
to allow 40 connections and am willing to try hosting an Echolink / Allstar
network roundtable.



I'll be there tonight at 8:00 pm and will attempt to coordinate. If you have
access to an Allstar repeater, connect to node 2396. If you are on Echolink,
connect to ky2d-r which is node 798782.



I know some hams think Echolink isn't "real" ham radio but I don't want to
get into that debate. This node is indeed on the air so all Echolink audio
becomes transmissions on the air here in Morristown on 2 meters and on the
air elsewhere on 2m or 70cm on other Allstar nodes in Pennsylvania and Texas
that are connected to the KY2D-R repeater. Personally, I find Radio over IP
systems and technology very interesting and have been experimenting with it
for several years. This current Allstar/Echolink repeater is controlled by a
Beagle Bone Black $50 Linux system.



If interested, see you tonight at 8:00 eastern.



73, Jim
