Hello All!

The Colorado based SkyHubLink Repeater Linking System, N2SKY, is an all-mode, worldwide capable link system providing a communication bridge between many amateur radio repeaters and networks.

The overall purpose of the SkyHubLink System is to provide the following:
A. To be a WELCOMING, OPEN, and FRIENDLY community to all operators, especially NEW HAMS!
B. Enable anyone with any mode radio to essentially contact anyone with any mode radio anytime anywhere, and literally provide communications “back home” from anywhere in the WORLD!
C. To provide little used repeaters with activity to let other hams know they are there and on the air.
D. To interconnect different regions with each other for fun and possible emergency use when needed.
E. To promote good amateur practice and friendship for all, this is an OPEN system.

PLEASE NOTE OPERATING PROCEDURES AND PROTOCOLS NOTED BELOW...

Remember, you’re on a linked repeater system!

This means that:
> You can’t quick key or tailgate.
> You must key up… count to 2, then begin to talk. When you’re finished, please do a 2 count before you unkey.

> PLEASE DO NOT “Kerchunk” a SkyHubLink repeater to see if you are making it. PLEASE DO come on and ask for a radio check. Kerchunking repeaters can cause link issues.
> PLEASE leave 5 seconds or so between transmissions. This allows link/unlinking to work properly between all linked repeaters. If you do not do this, you may miss others trying to get into the system or join in your conversation.
> LONG RAGCHEWS are WELCOME ON SKYHUBLINK, BUT PLEASE REMEMBER while chatting that you are on MANY, MANY REPEATERS SIMULTANEOUSLY. PLEASE leave breaks between transmissions and every so often during your QSO to see if someone else may need one of the many repeaters on the system.

> Someone else may want to join in on your discussion. When more than two wish to join a QSO, set up a round table, handing transmission off to the next person by callsign.

Thanks Everyone and 73!
