Both Echolink and IRLP are systems that use voice over internet protocols (VOIP). They were actually here with us in use at least for the last ten years and well before the onset of programs such as Skype and ovoo. It is important to appreciate that Echolink and IRLP are in essence,innovative advancements in amateur radio. D-Star . . . →Read More:Echolink –is it REAL radio?

He asks,“What you would like to see happen as to the way things are at the moment”and adds,“My own suggestion for a really good change at our Radio Club is to have our own club rooms on our own bit of land.

It’s now connected to the battery bank,along with the solar panel,so my guess is that we should be able to get through the winter quite nicely.
I’d like to thank the following members who came along: Krystyna,Ken,Keith,Dave EQD,Andy GAV,Andrew HSA,Carol and Peter, We are not sure just how much gear we will be able to run off this system but it’s still not up to running an electric kettle . . . →Read More:Wind genny is GO..!!
