I do not like Echo Link.
I think it is annoying to listen to. I think people who use it
don't feel motivated to learn anything else.
I stopped participating on one local net because echo link is so
annoying.
I still participate in Ares, Skywarn and HF traffic Nets.
I figure that a little effort will get your General Class
License. Then you can talk around the world.
Some people just don't use common sense when they use Echo Link.
I got me Technician License in 1992, became involved with Navy
Karine Corp Mars in 1995 and obtained my General Class License
February 26, 2007.
I guess I just don't like all that funny noise resulting from
Echo Link.
Amateur Radio is really fun for those who just joined us. It
really can be a valuable Public Service.
I rarely got on just to chat. I do participate in Traffic Nets
daily.
Welcome Sarah.
