Ok... just when you thought people who climb tall antenna towers to change a light bulb might potentially have some personal screws loose... these young knuckleheads make me think it may be time to thin the herd.

Subject: [W8MWA] Node down
Message-ID: <CAAkYMAa4esekJmWWD9HjF0wZC0BYBf18U6Erh6_pLT0jOhCKCw@mail.gmail.com>

The raspberry pi running the Echolink / IRLP node has failed, taking the
node offline.  Something is wrong with the network card in the PI, it lost
its IP and is an unreliable unit at this time.  I am researching the cause
to find out if this is a bug, or if someone used a backdoor to shut it down.
Until I decide to get it back online or not, it was a short lived
experiment.

Hope your weekend is good for you.

Message-ID: <CAAkYMAYwM7vinzS+ALm__3Xxshfmz+Cn7BUF1_+kdkEzDNo4AQ@mail.gmail.com>

Just to let you know, I have fixed the issue with the node and it is back
online again.

152.000 Tone SQ 103.5 Echolink or IRLP

Echolink is not serving much purpose at this time, well until I can link to
a local repeater anyway.  IRLP has a gateway, it is online and you can
follow the instructions here to access it http://www.kd8yny.my-free.website

IRLP if you do not know, you can talk to local repeaters all over the world
or locally if you choose to.  You use the radio you have (Must have DTMF
keypad) and connect through my radio and internet to make a connection.

I am not sure of the coverage, the radio connected makes the W8MWA repeater
without issue, in town it may not make the trip due to elevation issues.  I
am yet to test that theory..

Please feel free to play, if you use echolink, your callsign will be
broadcast upon connection to ID you.  IRLP, it is up to you to broadcast
your ID as you normally would.

Thanks for your time, hope to see you all at our next meeting.  If you are
interested in the little IRLP setup, I will be bringing it along with me to
the field day in June.

Take care, 73s KD8YNY

The correct frequency is 145.000 for the irlp node.  Thanks for pointing
that out Carl.

Who's going to BREEZESHOOTERS?

Sunday June 7 -- 8AM - 3PM

Best to leave Morgantown about 7:30-8:00 or so

$5 per person admission

It's a little over an hour drive...

Vendors, Flea Market, Exams, Food Wagons...

The entire hamfest can be seen in a couple of hours...

If we coordinate, we can do lunch somewhere.

We have in the past met at Red Robin in Washington
(unless someone has a better idea!)

I can meet folks at Red Cross (good place to park while gone)
if someone needs a ride.

Call me or email if you want to go...   304.672.6381


Cheers,
...Bob West WA8YCD
