Well I'm an old school echolink user so when I registered back in 2003, all
I needed was my callsign. It's changed now, so you're probably going to have
to wait until you can provide the photo. It's become important for them to
verify your license since people used to get on it unchecked. With that said
good luck. In the mean time you can try out this (not so good) program
called: eqso. Go to their site at: www.eqso.org and download the software.
You can register with your call sign and they don't have quite a screening
process. You can even register as an swl (shortwave listener.) That's a voip
chat program as well accept it's real annoying with jaws. Of course the
sightys won't care. For us though, the jaws is way too chatty and there a
few steps you have to follow when connecting to particular nodes. Have fun
though.

Hi,

Well I have downloaded echolink through their ftp.

I've signed up also.

But guess what! They want a photocopy of my license! Which, as all of you
know is still being sent by mail.

What can I do? I surtainly wanted to join handiham nets tomorrow at 2400
utc. I've e-mailed them, telling them this issue, but I dout if they'll
except my "pleedings".

Do any of you have any ideas I can do about this?
