Yeah...Yeah...I know - there have been times when I have been skeptical about something new...But, I invite ALL in Ham Radio that also use the internet, but haven't tried ECHOLINK... to try this wonderful mode, of new communication! We always hear stories about Ham Radio being a Hobby that is slowly becoming a thing of the past! Or that younger folks just aren't interested, in this age old Tradition! Yet...for those that love the operations of a computer, and as we move ever more into The "DIGITAL" age of operations, I believe that ECHOLINK shall only GROW in use. Oh well...we use every kind of old wire we ever had to hold a QSO with someone for a good old "Rag-Chew" why pass up this opportunity to Rag-Chew... right though this WIRE we call the internet? By just downloading the software program and making a few adjustments, it was no time that I was online and speaking with many old and dear friends, with a simple PC microphone. Yet...with so many Repeaters online and worldwide connections, how POWERFUL this new mode truly is. Hey to all of my dear friends on Ham Radio? You owe it to yourself to try this...Besides...It's FUN 73's and God's Blessings DE N5JFJ
