>EchoLink uses VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) to allow licensed 
>Amateur Radio Operators to communicate with other Amateurs via the 
>Internet.  Originally developed by Jonathan Taylor (K1RFD) in 2002, 
>EchoLink is just one of many communication options available to hams today.
>Bob Wiseman, WB3W, presents a very informative presentation on this new 
>communication tool.  In it he describes how it works, basic setup and what 
>equipment and interfaces are commonly used by hams using EchoLink.
>
>We hope that you are finding these programs informative as well as 
>entertaining.  They can be used at club meetings a program topic or as 
>part of a mentoring session.
>
>If you have a PowerPoint presentation that you would like to submit for 
>review for the ARRL Multi Media Library, please send a CD to the address 
>below marked "Attn.: F&ES Dept."

>hotel lobbies or tourist information centers.  Read the story and see how 
>effective this friendly gesture can be.

>The Mount baker ARC in Washington has designed an information packet that 
>they give to all new hams.  Their handout is so complete and informative 
>that many clubs have asked about using it themselves. Because of these 
>requests, the Mt. Baker folks have allowed ARRL to provide a downloadable 
>version for other clubs to use. This .PDF file has provisions for clubs to 
>insert their own contact information as well as local repeater directories 
>and other local information. If you do use this packet, please be sure to 
>thank the Mt. Baker Amateur Radio Club for the super job that they have 
>done with it.
