Why did you leave out the part about when the power went, down, so did
Echolink?

Echolink is a joke.....

Tttt...
Not worst than HF when your RTX experiment a power failure due to a direct
strike... on the antenna or on the main line.
Echolink is a marvellous tool even if I prefer by far working on the air.

Interesting clip from the "Amateur Radio Newsline"
Posted here

Morrain says High Frequency conditions were often deplorable with
extensive
interference. He says the Hurricane Watch Net was being relayed locally
through
both EchoLink and IRLP, the Internet Repeater Linking Project, to help
overcome
H-F problem. All along the storms projected path ham radio operators
trained
in
emergency communications were in service or on stand-by alert.
