Au Contraire
Echolink is an Internet chat FOR Amateur Radio Operators

Just another communication vehicle
Get over it!

I never use it but can easily understand why it can be of value to others.
And that from a 25 Year extra class ham.
Hey CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK31, Packet, NTS, IRLP, EchoLink, Phone Patch, et al --
communicate communicate is da word.

SNIP Da Rationale
Echolink devotees are just
brimming over with excuses, but none of those excuses change the fact that
Echolink is an Internet chat, not ham radio.
