Hmm ... this makes twice now for me. Once VE7DGL had to get hold of me
and
used Echo Link - and my HT fired up and I got the needed "heads up".
Today,
I needed to get hold of Hatton, NI5Y, and he wasn't on the internet.
Well,
I linked to his machine and he answered via his HT. It does work. There
were radios on one end in both instances.

Or is DXCC the only thing that counts? I have little use for those folks.
I'm sure some are decent, but the one time I wanted to run a phone patch
from the US Naval Hospital on Guam and the DX boys thought phone patches
shouldn't be allowed on their day ... well ... as I said, I've little use
for 'em.

While I personally am not really interested in Echolink, I think it is an
interesting hybrid. I'm glad that someone worked out the methodology
whether or not I ever make any use of it.
