Interesting, my Link on ECHOLink uses Radio and ants.


Yeah. And I know that if I use Echolink on my PC here in NJ USA to
connect to a machine say in Romania, that my voice is being transmitted
on some 2m or 440 freq over there. I just happen to be using a very long
microphone cable..... I've had QSOs with hams in Japan who were mobile.
Guys suprized to hear an American white trash voice on their local
repeater. :-)
