  • Echolink Users Guide
    EchoLink Users Guide Version 1.0 Affiliated Club EchoLink Internet Linking for Amateur Radio What is Echolink? EchoLink uses VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) to allow licensed amateur Radio Operators to communicate with other Amateurs via the Internet. It is primarily a Windows based application and is offered free of charge at http://www.echolink.org. There is also a new EchoLinux and EchoMac available. Now available is an iPhone and Android app that can be used to con- nect to operators around the world while you are on the go. It was developed by Jonathan Taylor (K1RFD) in 2002 (He received Hamvention 2003 Special Achievement Award). The system allows reliable worldwide connections to be made between radio amateurs, greatly enhancing Amateur Radio's communications capabilities. In essence it is the same as other VoIP applications (such as Skype), but with the unique addition of the ability to link to an amateur radio station's trans- ceiver. Before using the system it is necessary for a prospective user's call sign to be validated. The EchoLink system requires that each new user provide positive proof of license and identity before his or her call sign is added to the list of validated users. EchoLink Users Guide Version 1.0 | 3 Modes EchoLink can be operated strictly between two computers connected to the Internet using the PC soundcard with Speakers and a Microphone. EchoLink can be interfaced to a standard FM transceiver as a “simplex link” from your home QTH. EchoLink can be interfaced to a VHF or UHF repeater for more coverage.

    Rep. ITU-R M.2085 1 REPORT ITU-R M.2085* Role of the amateur and amateur-satellite services in support of disaster mitigation and relief (2006) Scope This Report is intended to document the role of the amateur and amateur-satellite services in provision of radiocommunications in support of disaster mitigation and relief. It includes information developed after the South-East Asia tsunami in December 2004. 1 Introduction The amateur services have a long history of providing radiocommunications during emergencies and in support of disaster relief. Some important attributes of the amateur services are that stations are distributed throughout the world in populated and sparsely populated areas, have flexible equipment with frequency agility, and have trained radio operators capable of reconfiguring networks to meet the specific needs of an emergency. Amateur stations are regularly involved in emergency radiocommunications for relief of hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones; tornadoes, floods; fires; volcanic eruptions; and some man-made emergencies such as chemical spills. 2 Related texts Much concerning the use of the amateur and amateur-satellite services is documented in ITU-R and ITU-D texts, namely: – Article 5 of the Radio Regulations (RR) lists frequency allocations for the amateur and amateur-satellite service; – Article 25 establishes basic rules for the amateur and amateur-satellite services. In particular, it states: “25.9A § 5A Administrations are encouraged to take the necessary steps to allow amateur stations to prepare for and

It also includes a compendium of existing ITU texts of relevance to the amateur and amateur- satellite services. The amateur service is the oldest radio service and pre-dates regulation of radiocommunication. In 1912, amateurs could use any frequency above 1.5 MHz, as these frequencies were regarded “of no value for marine, governmental and commercial communications” or “undesirable and scarcely useful”. By 1924, amateurs made way for other services in bands above 1.5 MHz. Today, the amateur service operates in relatively small allocations throughout the spectrum. The 1963 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC) created Footnote 284A, which states: “In the band 144-146 MHz, artificial satellites may be used by the amateur service”. The amateur- satellite service was created and given frequency allocations at the 1971 Space WARC. Since then, scores of amateur satellites have been designed, constructed and operated by amateurs.

    W1AKS Repeater Echolink Access 147.135/147.735 (PL 100) Echolink Node Identifier - 600646. Rev C The W1AKS Repeater Echolink System The W1AKS repeater sits atop of Mt. Uncannonuc in Goffstown, New Hampshire at a 1280 feet ASL. The repeater is a Hamtronics REP-200 with a 25 watt output at the duplexers. The antenna is of an Omni design with a gain of a 3db. The Echolink controller is an AMI-2 - All Mode Interface manufactured by ILINKBOARDS – WB2REM. New Hampshire Radio Active in Disaster Incidence Operations (NHRADIO) established this repeater system to accommodate the needs of New Hampshire ARES. Anyone with a valid Amateur Radio License is welcome to use the system, however, ARES is considered its primary user and therefore ARES and Public Service operations will take precedence. Contact Al, K1AKS at [email protected] What is Echolink and how do I sign up? EchoLink opens a world of new communications possibilities by joining Amateur Radio stations over the Internet. Since the Internet is a shared, public resource, security is naturally a very important part of the system. EchoLink® software allows licensed Amateur Radio stations to communicate with one another over the Internet. The Echolink program allows worldwide connections to be made between stations through like Echolink equipped linked repeaters, or from computer to station. Additional information on Echolink in general may be found elsewhere on the www.arrl-nh.org site. Those who are interested, but not familiar with Echolink operations should visit www.echolink.org . To use Echolink from your computer, you will need to download the Echolink software available from this same site.

  • Jamboree on the Air and Internet
    Jamboree On the Air and Internet 58th Jamboree On The Air 19th Jamboree On The Internet 17 – 18 October 2015 Operators Pages Welcome once again to this year’s Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet for 2015. OPERATING TIMES You may participate in JOTA-JOTI at the direction of your Scout Group for all or part of the weekend from Saturday, 00.00hrs until Sunday,24.00hrs local time. Be aware that there is little activity until after midday Saturday by which time JOTA activity has started in a number of other countries. Of course, actual starting and finishing times are subject to local arrangements. When Scouts want to meet young people from another country, they usually think of attending a World Jamboree or another international gathering. But few people realize that each year about half-a-million Scouts and Guides “get together” over the airwaves for the annual Jamboree On The Air (JOTA). Modern communication technology offers the exciting opportunity to make friends in other countries without even leaving home…. JOTA / JOTI is an annual event in which Scouts and Guides all over the world can speak to each other by means of amateur radio / internet contacts. Since 1958 when the first jamboree On The Air was held, thousands of Scouts and Guides have “met” each other through this event. Not only is it fun to talk to Scouts from other parts of the world, but it provides also a chance to find out about other counties and about Scouting elsewhere. Many contacts made during JOTA have resulted in pen pals and links between scout troops / Groups that have lasted for many years.

  • 2 Meter Simplex Challenge
    2021 Keuka Lake Amateur Radio Association 2 Meter Simplex Challenge The purpose of this contest is to encourage amateurs to: ● learn the basics of contesting ● learn some new simplex operating techniques ● expand the scope of their 2 meter operating beyond that needed for repeater operations. It is open to any licensed amateur, the object being to make as many contacts with as many different amateurs, in as many towns, using 2 meter simplex, as possible; during the four hour contest period. Please try to remember that this is a FUN contest. All contest participants are encouraged to submit their logs, even if they only have a few contacts. The intent is to work from the towns on the attached map. You may work into any town where your signal will reach (and where you can get someone to answer you). 1) Date and Contest Period The contest period is from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM (local time), Saturday, May 15, 2021. Contest contacts are 2 meter simplex phone ONLY. Contacts via a repeater (or via Echolink or digi-modes) will not be eligible for contest credit. Contest is limited to FM or SSB contacts using voice. In sharp contrast to most other contests; you may use a repeater to set up (or schedule) simplex contacts! Do not log these contacts in your contest logs. 2) Station Divisions / Classes There are two divisions (FM and SSB), two classes (Fixed and Rover), and two power sub-classes (QRP – operating 5 W or less), and full - more than 5 W – 50W FM or 100 watts SSB).
