Hi all, just letting everyone know, in Taunton, on 147.570 is a new simplex 
link for echolink. I had it up a couple years ago and had problems so back 
at square 1 here, the coverage will be bad for a time but if it's actually 
used I have big plans to get it up and going very well in the fall. Nothing 
is set in stone, even the frequency, but that's just where I happened to 
find quiet back a couple years ago and it hasn't changed. PL will be 88.5 
though it's not active right now because the radio is 23 years old and won't 
support it it is putting out a tone if you want tone squelch. I might put it 
on the big antenna at night some nights and other times if I like, it's up 
until I go on vacation August 12. I'll pull it down probably the night 
before and when I get back it will go back up and I'll upgrade it as time 
and money allow and if it's actually used. Plan is, if it is used, before 
the cold weather comes in, get a good antenna outside, and a better radio. 
Right now, due to RFI issues it will be on low power on the attic antenna 
unless I put it on the outside one for a couple hours, and might put it on 
high power when I resolve an issue as is. Use it, have fun with it, I'll be 
on during the week listening and playing around. Audio settings are a little 
off but it's useable. I won't be able to talk tonight but if some one wants 
to connect just so I know you can, that's cool. I think I have no firewall 
issues though and it's there for anyone and everyone to try. If it gets 
used, I really have big plans for it. I'm not a huge fan of echolink, but at 
least this way I'm on the RF side of it and I'll play around with it. I know 
there are other links in the area, I just had a lot of time on my hands 
yesterday and my new radio desk computer is way way too much for packet and 
logging so I decided to give it 1 more task and me 1 more headache in the 
long run. 73 all, have fun with it and give me any feedback on it you can.
