Echolink and MCARC

From the RF side, key up and say "<your callsign> accessing Echolink", hit nnnnn (the node number) to connect,
## to disconnect, and ID when finished, per FCC Part 97.

(NOTE: nnnnn = the node number of the station, link, repeater, or conference you wish to connect to)

If you are in a remote location (on vacation, etc) and wish to talk to the folks "back home",
open Echolink on your computer, find KG4FZR-R in the list, and hit connect.

NOTE: For RF stations, it is best to let the repeater drop between
transmissions when talking to Echolink Connected stations.
This allows for stations coming in and out
of Echolink, and for all time out timers to reset.

To download Echolink, go to http://www.echolink.org/ .

To check what repeaters are on Echolink, check http://www.echolink.org/links.jsp.
(NOTE: There is a site http://www.echolinkmap.org/ but it is not updated regularly.)

NEW! There is also an "app" for the IPhone that allows you to use Echolink!
Bob, KC4KUZ has tried it and it works!
