I am just starting to get my Technician license. I'm wondering about
using the internet and print instead of voice to communicate via Short
Wave. I've been reading some about ECHO but don't have a good
understanding of that principle. Would one be able to communicate via
the internet with just a Technician's license or would I need a general
license?? Some people in the club that I'm part of mentioned something
about ECHO as a means of communicating but I think that might require
morse code which I don't know yet.

Thanks.
