FMCAARC ECHOLINK PROJECT |
| OUR PRESIDENT HAS ASKED JAY TO HEAD A COMMITTEE TO BEGIN AN ECHOLINK NET CHECK BACK FOR PROGRESS. |
Jay Starks, W4PVN is heading up a project to establish an EchoLink path
and net for the ARC. You can see by the example below that you can
be located in a RV park in whowouldhavethoughtit, Arizona and check into
a net or have a mobile QSO across the country or around the world via a
VHF transmitter and the internet. Mobile station A transmits to a
repeater that is tied to a PC with an internet gateway the transmission
then goes to the internet as a digital signal to a PC  across the country and back on the air again via another transceiver to another mobile rig operating in area B. EchoLink can also be used mobile to PC or PC to PC. This is an ongoing project with objectives to begin a net using EchoLink.
Echolink is a free service offered by the amatuer radio community for hams. the software required to use echolink on a computer is free and available here . |
