[W1SMH] EchoLink testing

[Clayton L. Coleman]

As some of you might have noticed, I did open up EchoLink to the general public's use.  This has brought us some visitors from around the US as well as the world.  If you hear someone connect, throw your callsign out onto the repeater and say hello.

I have noticed that some people are connecting to KB5TBB-R and "testing" their audio.  Please use the "Connect to Test Server" from the "Station" menu before connecting to the repeater.  You can whistle, tap the microphone, and say TEST, 1, 2,3 to your heart's content on the test server since it's not transmitted on a live frequency.  The test server will replay your recording for you.

Thanks & 73,
