"Mike Coslo" wrote I'm sitting here listening to our local Echolink repeater. Someone,apparently in Florida, is Kerchunking our local repeater. Now THAT is the true power of the internet! And yesterday at lunchtime, I heard some talk that you should never hear on ham radio. Somone with a funky drunky accent going on about his favorite parts of another guy's anatomy. Shudderrrr. There just isn't enough control of all the repeaters linked into Echolink for it to be a viable system. Echolink isn't too blame for the incidents you describe. Not blaming echolink, I'm blaming the people that inhabit it. Control operators are responsible to shut down their machines or amptutate the offending user when such violatons occur. But she/he didn't. Don't blame technology for the failings of those who implement it. Both of the problems you describe are independent of the fact that Echolink happens to be involved. CB is not inherently bad either, but I don't care to go there. BTW, this was much worse than anything I ever heard on CB. YMMV - Mike KB3EIA - |
