Another thing I've had trouble with on Echolink is the voice quality.
Everyone except the local guys sound terrible. Very difficult to understand.

Thats strange, just got off Echolink thru my Link, to a freind in Texas. His
Audio sounded perfect as it always does

Yes...but you still used your computer and the land lines.....


And I also used an IC-706 with a Vertical Ant, and a Alinco DJ541 it also has
an Antenna.

.easier this way.
Kinda like CB, eh?


No where near to CB

We had a power outage recently in the Northeast. The Echolink connection to
a local 2 meter repeater was down because the RoadRunner cable system has no
battery backup in these parts.

When inclement WX hits and the phone lines are down it will be back to
Ham
Radio the way it always has been. Good old radios and antennas....and for
those with preplannning a Marine battery or two as well.

How often has your fantasy been played out? Can you give examples where
YOU
encountered that?

The Midwest floods in the 90's.

Any number of hurricaines in the last 50 years in the Gulf States
and Atlantic Coast.

Steve, don't even try to cash in on Sept 11th unless you were there
and provided emergency communications via amateur radio.
