[South Florida DX Association] K4FK/R Echolink now on full time for testing

[Bill Dzurilla]

Thanks to additional work by Pete and helpful reports from those on last night's DX net, the K4FK/R Echolink (Node 581415) is now on full time.  Feel free to give it a try, get your out of town ham friends to give it a try, and please report any problems to N8PR or me.

Once you have Echolink on your computer or cell phone (see links below), you can use the Search feature (binoculars icon) to find K4FK, or click on Locations > North America > United States > Call Area 4 > then scroll down to K4FK-R, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

73, Bill NZ5N
SFDXA President
