Echolink is 
			 Operational on 443.225 & 443.150
  If you haven't gotten involved with Echolink you 
			 should check it out. If you have a valid Amateur Radio License, you 
			 can use Echolink to have QSO's all over the world without the worry of 
			 antennas or power. But the main reasons we added this feature was 
			 to:- improve communications in the 
			 areas of The Villages that are on the fringes of the repeater
 
  
			 - to provide a means for our seasonal members to stay in 
			 touch with the Club, their friends and the Monday night Rag Chew Net 
			 at 7PM on the 443.225  repeater.
 
  
			 
  
			 Echolink software is a free download and easy to install. The software and full 
			 set of instructions are available at  www.echolink.org/download.htm 
			 . Please give it a try. We have resources available to assist you if 
			 necessary. NOTE: The issues we had pending for the iPhone 
			 have apparently been resolved with the change of server that is now 
			 hosting the echolink app.           |
