Are you confused... echolink is a voice over ip program which has over the
air links users as well as computer users just the same. why is it so hard
for olders hams to accept change

Perhaps because the Echolink system has absolutely NOTHING to do with radio
propagation. I guess the next thing you'll be stating is that using the
telephone also qualifies as a category under the radio hobby.

Sorry, not this boy. You can take your Echolink system and put it right on
the shelf next to the CB radio.
